that would work on wifi but unfortunately i wont be grandfathered in to any unlimited wireless plans. the 2GB (or less) wireless data plans really kills the idea of iCloud IMO, and i wonder what apple plans to do about this. but iCloud isnt exactly a streaming service, is it? i thought it's just a syncing service -- so you could easily fill the iphone's capacity.

you put any lossless on it? thats really the only way i could see filling it.

well, i think it's time to join the smartphone wagon. goodbye motorola RAZR 2006 model. i'd like to wait for an LTE capable phone, but in bumfuck small town virginia its probably going to be a few years until we get LTE anyway. so now the question is 16, 32, or 64gb? let's say i upgraded in 2 years, so don't want to pay for excess capacity

He criticized the performance of portable amps and then built something 8 times larger with 1/3 the battery life. ok, but that's not what people want for portability.

to force you to pay crazy repair prices from their distributor, who probably isnt even going to respond to you

i had to replace the cable on my pair. it wasnt a bad connection at the driver as i suspected, but the wire(s) had eventually broken below the strain relief, requiring the entire cable to be replaced. i think i bought the cable from Kuboten.

only if you pee in the aisle

i didnt mean you specifically. just seems most everyone who is able to come, has decided to come (which is good) i welcome your feces throwing

had to do this...see you there monkey!

whichever one isnt full

arrival! first off the line...a dog tag for practice

Welcome. You've Got Mail.

with an unusual ribbon cable maybe buy a pair of Skullcandy and put them in the box

yes, when i do that i get the ~70V. when i flip it around so the labeled side of the A1486 faces me, i get the correct 700V. this is true of both batches of 2SA1486 that i have, ones from bdent (that have been used for BHSEs so far) and ones from dalbani that look slightly different.

wait a sec. i am now getting 745V, but i had to flip the part around. inserted into the tester with the leads reversed from what you show in your photo.

sounds like my PNP side is busted

hmm..got my DY294 tester, i am guessing mine is defective? - set V(BR) to 1000V PNP - insert 2SA1486 that i know is good - get a measurement around 70V - tried a 2SA1968 that i believe is real and get around 150V - tried a 2SA970 (definitely real) get about 25V ok, how about switching it over to NPN and put in the complimentary 2SC2240 - hmm, 200V range is too low. switch it to 1000V range. - 215V .....thats either really good as the datasheet says 120V, or the # is wrong too.

this same problem exists with parts machined in China. pay for USA aluminum (like 5% of the part cost), get Chinese aluminum which cant anodize properly.

this is why i cut the gain in half on the BHSE. just dont tell anyone on HF (more gain = better).

not surprising, and i bet it is based on past experience...earwicker?

count me in mike btw - what would be the best way to spend a day in Ocala before/after the meet? would be a long drive

ask Steve, he may have tried Craig's tube socket

too bad it's metric. the hex heads are going to be pretty useless. i haven't touched my set of metric hex keys in years.

isnt 8lb supposed to be the ideal torque for mounting a TO-220? or do i have the units wrong
