No, it would be something like nearest E96 resistor in series and adjustment at a minimum of that resistor (minus tolerance, assume 1%) and the next available E96 (plus tolerance).

I have a really really dumb question. I would like to get as many turns of a trimmer over as small as a range as possible. For example, 25 turns over 1 ohm. What's the best strategy to do this, a series resistance to set the approximate value, then a resistor in parallel with a pot I assume, but how to size the pot (large or small) and the resistor, without having to do math is the question?

It just needs more current to start working, if I recall.

Now, for some advice! Looking for another strap, what do you guys think about the Hirsch Robby: ... specifically, which buckle option do you prefer? I like the yellow contrast stitching, but would consider other options as well. I've also seen some interesting "nylon" woven bands, but not sure what they are called. They look like very thick threaded, synthetic thread, more more "bulky" looking than a typical Nato. I'm not sure the name exactly. I always felt that Natos were just a bit "thin" feeling, the ones I had in the past were Maratec branded. Also, I saw that the new Bond version of this watch has a nice strap included, which looks like sailcloth with an Omega deployant: That would be cool, if I could score that. Any idea the part number at Ofrei for that Omega deployant?

Love that drive!

Punch Punch

They decided to sell me one from their warrantee stash. Excellent! I think I might even put a pair of salvaged caps as PSU bypass for fun.

One off all-time favorite LPs, in a more expensive, quasi-audiophile format

(Not Greek, it's Russian I know... Sue me)

Seems an iconic segue would be appropriate

Seems they sell pairs only? It's better than nothing though, thanks!

Any chance someone could help me source a single V-Cap TFTF 0.1uF / 600v? It seems these will no longer be made. Used is fine.

How much gain (if any) do you need?

Is the via above the left hand current source too close to the bracket, considering its on the top of the board?

Or just add a trimmer to the circuit. There is a good diagram in the "Impasse Preamp" AX article which is now online.

Or smart.

About a year and a half old, no hints of ammonia out gassing, but really they need more time to age. Also I think they need lower humidity to thrive .

I am back, scar and all.

This one had what looks like a survey inside, none of the others thus far have had...

Nice choice for sure!

More esoterica

Ah, I think the simple HMS1 is quite a decent value. Good luck on the hunt!

I dunno. Maybe it's just me and associations I have with them. What about Arnold and Son: http://www.arnoldandson.com/home.aspx

Notwithstanding the bearded one, folks that wear them are kinda douchy and I feel they are overpriced. I kinda lump them in with Hublot.
