um, just strapping them to the outputs?

tempted to send you my LCD-1 after the Houston meet...

I prefer the more subtile markings to the radioactive symbol, like those on my Tag:

Laptops without touchpads?

well, there's a lot to love about the radio. I really was impressed by the SB3 "interface", and the new interface is many times over better. My largest complaint is lack of remote, and more buttons on the front. I liked the minimalist design of the SB3 (and would have prefered a minimalist remote too). Again, if I knew that it didn't come with a remote, I'm not so sure I would have jumped on it as fast. My wife is happy with the iTunes integration, and we're both curious about what apps will be available. The Flickr one interests us the most, but the screen is just a bit too small for it to really be all that practical. Sound is pretty good, I'd like to see a cross-section picture to see how the designed the interior of the thing to get half-decent sound out of it.

Tribute Inductive Volume Control and other TVCs

nah, I'll just guilt you into sending the entire thing down my way I think Intact / Bent Audio has to be high on your list. -
With what existential crisis are you grappling right now?

wait.. now I have a drill press. Let's see... -
yup, I like those caps as well I'm not sure how I'm going to mount these RXF in my case, as it's a P2P PSU. Now that they are so much smaller than I figured they would be, I'm thinking I could put them on a chunk of PCB and be done with it. The supply is a RCLC supply and I wired it up last night and the result was exactly what PSUD2 predicted. Scary huh. Looks like I have 20mVAC ripply under load. The supply is 10 ohm -> 1.5uF -> 48H -> 20uF. I was thinking I could split up the last 20uF into 10uF -> R -> 10uF, but might not mess with it, as I'd probably have to up the first cap so I'd have some voltage to drop over this last resistor... I'm probably overthinking things, as it's going into a regulator anyways

These are the cutest little caps. I was looking for a 1.5uF cap >600V rated cap and for some reason this must be a non standard value, as there weren't that many choices. Anyways, looks to be stacked film construction. Nice for the price ($8 not including the the PcX discount of the month). I also got a pair of the 10uF/600V caps which were $13 (not including discount). A 10uF/200V Wima sells for $13 at Mouser.

Wavelength WaveLink Asynchronous USB to S/PDIF converter.
luvdunhill replied to Hopstretch's topic in Home Source Components
want. Not at $285 though. -
for traditional drill press use, I bought a few select fancy bits. After talking to a few people, it seems parabolic and slow spiral bits are the two best choices for what I plan on doing. As for material, I went with M-42 cobalt and for finish choice I choose bright. Again, these choices are in line with my intended use. There are millions of potential combinations it seems. There's no way I could afford an entire index of these. From what I was told, Cleveland is pretty much the best money can buy. They ended up costing around $5-$7 each. I also did some research and bought some very nice taps. I chose both taper and bottoming versions of the popular thread sizes. I was able to even get H1 ground thread limit versions of the bottoming taps, which is super cool. They weren't cheap though, but the bottoming tap is really the proper tool for tapping blind holes in heat sinks, or so I was informed. For the mill conversion, I'm working on that list now

I'm really hoping the graduations turn out to be pretty accurate, so I can just turn the handle and move over a fixed amount. I have pretty much no expectations for something that cost $46 or so, but ... modding is always possible

any idea when the head direct orthos will be available?

tear along the length of the package, open up, take out largest pieces, then throw out the wrapper that is containing the crumbs -
well, I bought this one today: 5" Machinist CROSS SLIDE VISES DRILL PRESS VISE - eBay (item 190339188874 end time Oct-09-09 15:43:27 PDT) We will see...

no, what I mean, what on the spec sheet of the 274B makes you think it's better suited for your amplifier?
-
what do you mean by this?
-
just replace it with one of these, $5.50 shipped: 4/4 EBONY VIOLIN TAILPIECE - eBay (item 330362278124 end time Oct-22-09 21:34:23 PDT)

what does an original Vuillaume tailpiece fetch on the market these days?

grr, I'm hatching a plan that will probably involve stealth for sale ad at the other site. I figure I have $475 or so in mine at the moment, so the $325 trade in doesn't really excite me all that much, I'd rather just sell them myself. Interested parties may contact me, but I haven't totally made up my mind yet. That means the LCD-2 will have to probably make a pilgrimage to the Pacific Northwest as well then

Everytime I hear the HD800 I say, "yeah Senn really got it right this time". The HD800 improves over the previous generations in every way. However, I cannot stop comparing them really. If that makes sense. With Audeze from first listen I compared them to everything I'd ever heard and they just resonated with me.
-
I prefer the LCD-1 to the HD800, so not an odd comparison at all
