I also got the early adopter email today. I am on the fence because for the price I could get a PS3. Just wish the PS3 had IR control. What do you think the Oppo's other advantages are?

Who's Epeche Ode?

Oh man I just looked for that stuff and your right. I'm also going to get rid of my pile of JCPenny's catalogs.

You can put porn on a computer? I can finally get rid of all these 8mm tapes I have been hauling around? I bought some beer and Bowmore 12yr. It's kind of like Islay light.

Happy birthday!

Rating of new pirate movie?

I do need a good pre.... Group buy!!!!

For heat sinking the S22 I do think using something like the Conrad heat sink might be a better option due to the expected current demand of the amp. The trick is squeezing everything into one case. The 4U Hifi-2000 case might do the trick but I think it would be a tight squeeze. I don't think the S22s will be unusable because it's a pretty versatile power supply than can be used with other amps. All the parts for the amp board on the other hand...

I had a Xytronics 137ESD that I was very happy with. It was a bit more than the Weller ($70) but it was also a lot better iron. As a bonus it used Hacko tips.

It kind of sucks Also some bits and pieces from Mouser.

Nothing as long as you electrically isolate the MOSFET from the heat sink. No different than having a off board heat sink that is part of the chassis.

Happy birthday. Don't drink as much as I did. Or do

Shoot me a PM with your paypal (I think I have it already) and how much I owe.

You can desolder the pins with a vacuum station. Not so much with wick or a hand sucker. Do we have final (or close to it) dimensions on the amp boards? What about power figures on the them? If we had both then we could start looking into what size case and heat sinks we really need.

Thanks. I plan on spending the day lounging around the house in my tighty whities with a bottle of Old Crow and a pack of Swishers

I have not heard the metal SS drivers, but I really like the revs. If you want to try a metal-ish speaker take a look at the ATD Hypergraph Ti. Great speaker but not cheap. I do agree that the Vifa is a great little speaker especially considering the price compared to it's SS brothers. But I still love the 7100/7000/6600 and plan to use them at some point in the future for a cost no object speaker. I have heard good things about the HDS and have been meaning to pick up a pair but I just have not got around to it.

For PCBs I have used Advanced Circuits. They have a pretty good deal on proto boards for $33 each with a min order of 4 that comes with another for free. $132+shipping for 5 boards. https://www.33each.com/!33each1.asp

I just looked up the price for the panels I used for my B22 and it was $92 and that included the material and engraving for lettering. That's with a purchase of 10-19 of each panel. So I think the price will be similar with the advantage of FPE in that we know we can get lettering and it's of know quality (not saying he would do a bad job). I think CamXpert (Nate?) might also be another option. We would also need the heatsinks/angle mounts machined or drilled and tapped.

So I am reading the machining cost at $31.5 per person? Who is going to do the all the layouts for heat sink holes/board mounting/front panel/back panel? I also think most people would want some sort of lettering on the front/back panels be it engraved or laser etched. I also think that if j4cbo is going to be designing the super I/O board it should have PCB mounted connectors and the back panel to match.

If this is really the case and we are going with a one case design (or even a two for that matter.) I think we would be better off spending a little more for something that isn't going to cause problems down the road.

How many here have Jailbroken their phone? With a little push from Sherwood I did mine last weekend and so far do good. It really opens the door on customizing it and adding features it would not normally have.

Yeah I need to update those #s
