a little late to the party but i have what i think are some real 2SC3381-BL on the way. "Like" this post if you think you'd be interested in some. i'll post them up for sale somewhere once i test them

try using the diode tester on your DMM to individually test/compare all of the J79 with power off

any meet where you don't have to pay a union for power cords is a good one

it was a very well organized and efficient meet!

i like the look of it. if that's a modushop enclosure as someone else said, they did a damn good job of styling and photography. would need to see it in person next to something like a Nagra. the perf board internals are weird though. even if building a one-off you'd be better off etching a copper board or using a blank single sided board. the tolerances on those perf boards are usually really bad and i'd be very worried about the possibilities of shorts or arcing with high voltage

I will have: BHSE GS-X mk2 Headphones: SR-009, SR-404 Limited, Focal Utopia, MrSpeakers Ether C

whats the transformer specs? i havent ever looked at that for the t2. looks like all 3 transformers are different?

The state of DACSES is good. They should be sentient within 2 years.

i booked the Sonesta ES Suites Atlanta

nope. i should have excess k216 though because a small number of j79 are DOA

yeah but there are thousands available. i'd have to buy them all. basically what's happened is the price is high because it's rare to find a lot this big. however, there have been times when I have found large lots for very cheap -- either because the seller is ignorant or because for them selling 8 pieces at a time on ebay will not be worth the labor

one amp i recognized from the old headwize pics because it was still in the exact same place

I wonder if this is the same design as Nik's custom amp from 2003. I think it was bought by Wayne

Is anyone interested in 2SC3381BL? I may have a source, but it's not at a great price. What's unusual is the quantity is high and I have received authentic parts from the source in the past its probably around $8 per piece

round tables seems like a really bad idea to me

oh, i do want to drive an external 2560?x1600 monitor. should have mentioned that. i figure everything these days can do that, but i should check

light 3D CAD. which i currently do in vmware fusion on mac. which can sometimes be shitty.

well the former laptop is shitty too. maybe not as shitty. it was a cheap "thinkpad" around $500-600 i think when i got it included with a laser engraver in 2011. i will say it has successfully survived being completely coated in powder coating and aluminum dust

how much faster/slower would a $200 laptop like this be compared to a Core 2 Duo model w/ 2008-2010 tech? http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/inspiron-11-3162-laptop/fndoh101sb

I will be there and would like a table for HeadAmp

i probably used a total of 20 of the caps, and didnt have any issues the KGSS DX would have gone for twice as much on head-fi. it was just the wrong place to sell it in auction format, not enough people looking

i saw a USED 100uf+100uf/500v black gate sold for $549 i should have bought a stock of retirement caps

it was a Futurama reference, but i couldnt find the video clip

i don't understand the problem. the non-electrolytic parts on the HV PSU only take up about a cubic inch. looks like you have more than enough space to work with
