Crucial is part of Micron, which last time I checked did make RAM chips (they were the last US fab that still did dynamic ram). I used to work for Mostek, which is where Micron's founders came from.
I always liked Crucial for RAM. Back when we used to use Macs at work, we did alot of business with Technology Works, but I'm not sure if they are even around anymore. Our director made us switch to Windoze a number of years ago...
Thanks. I'd found the thread already (did a search then remembered the shigaclone). I'm not sure what I would do with a 7808 type supply, as I would need +/- 15V (7815 / 7915 I guess) and it might require too much thought
Hmmm, I may actually have a pair of the regs around.
I figured you were a PD fanboy...
Marc,
Interesting. Do you have a pointer to the diyaudio thread? And how big on transformer are you going here? 80VA? 300VA? Any preference for R-core over EI? And I assume you are grabbing R-core at v4tc? Or did you find an alternate supplier?
I'm using a Sigma22 clone on my I/V stage, which is a really small current draw, and haven't noticed any problems... not that I was looking for any. I just wanted a really clean supply, but amb's board was too big and I didn't need paired output devices.
I'd be a bit leery of the clock upgrade on this as their description talks about ppm, which has absolutely nothing to do with jitter... I don't recall what they were asking for this though.
Even though we have a cat...
Some people that used to do daycare for one of our sons had a greyhound (ex race dog) that was a really nice dog. They talked their neighbors into getting one as well, and they had a really good experience with the dog as well. Congrats!
I use 8TCs on mine (25' runs) and terminated one end myself. I didn't think it was any big deal terminating them into postmaster spades? I still wish I wouldn't have sold the 25' biwired 4TC/4VS set I had...
Those stacks are BlackGate WKZ caps... can't read the values here at work on my POS PC... maybe at home. They will be either 350V or 500V caps, probably 500V, and something like 100+100 uf if I am guessing correctly. And yes, they were expensive (as in ~$100 ea. when they were available and weren't being gouged).
Yes, I tried that as well. It lists the posts in reverse order. I was thinking more along the lines of (from the thread modes help text):
The administrator can also set up the forums so that each thread you read is marked in the database. If this option is set, then new threads (or threads with new posts) will not be marked as read until you have actually read them.
not touching that post above me
When I click on threads that I have read, they do not go to the last page or preferably the first unread post automatically. Is this something I can configure, or??
Chris
IIRC, the async USB does a much better job of minimizing jitter. Gordon Rankin (wavelength) discusses this quite a bit on diyhifi.org, if you care to look.
Hmm, isn't the CD capacity determined by filesize? Or is it a fixed number of minutes? I thought if you put compressed MP3s on a CD-R you could get a shitload of music on one?
Or are you saying that because it is Redbook, you are limited to 80 minutes?
