I would suggest Belleville washers.

One of the APO that doesn't overlap with the Sony releases

It's alright, you can use the word "voicing".

Burn-in

It would be easier if he could tie the clip to the "bottom" negative rail though - which he can't - unless he floats the scope or uses a battery supply.

The scope readout is adjusted automatically, which is convenient. The P5205 might be a better choice.

I use a Tek P5210.

astroglide59: Ever looked at what Audio Note charges for repairs?

I prefer the K389.

So, if anyone is interested in some of these micro 11-turn trimmers I have decided to go with a different value and have a kings' ransom of 50 ohm left over

I suppose calling them "eneimas" might be close of a trademark violation to the reality of Mikhails's "enigma" cable design.

I failed at cutting a round hole. But it works well enough.

Actually I will get these made for me, but need to validate a few values. It was a pretty quick job, much faster than doing it by hand. a plate wasn't viable because there are parts on both sides.

(makeshift board heater) Then there were three. Now need a jig to be able to apply the paste to the bottom side - perhaps a piece of plywood with a cutout? As you can see, the middle pin of the transistors and the tabs wouldn't flow. These are multilayer boards with that large copper area exposed. I also had to "reheat" the boards during the process. I am not confident I really got good contact on the j-hook trimmers. I will just apply hand solder to these parts likely.

Interestingly, the unit came from Japan and they don't connect the earth pin at all. I figured I would do that at some point.

Looking to buy a used pair. If you have any leads, please let me know!

... Need to catch back up

Ever made something real quick, going against your feeling that it might be a bad idea? Here is one I did today. It isn't as bad as it could be - it was plugged into a fused variac - but still...

I believe the old thread is gone, so starting a new one. A retrofitted power supply for a JDM Esoteric SACD player

Yeah, there are a few cracks that I would like some advise on dealing with. I am thinking maybe a thin epoxy? I watched a few videos on fine woodworking about the approach for knots and other types of checks, but should consult real expert on the matter. There are four checks in this picture.

Still playing Shogi. Need to talk to Dr. Wood though about some repair though - certain wood probably belongs in a more humid Japanese climate.
