  1. It doesn't make much sense to go for such a project with a short budget. And how can you measure 5% increase in SQ? lol
  2. So that one would be some sort of compromise between the cheap well built one and the T2 one? ps: welcome back Kevin!
  3. Birgir, I think that a nice well built power supply is a must in such a design and would personally go for the best possible design, however if such a power supply means off board custom heat sinks and what not it might be a turn off for many people, myself included. I think the price no object one is the way to go, but using easily sourced parts and on board heatsinks.
  4. What's the purpose of the inductors after the rectifier? Scott share your findings!!
  5. put me down for one boardset + parts, possibly two sets! on another note: Kevin, why doesn't someone order the boards for you, everybody could save the 9% sales tax, not much on such a project, but always helps!
  6. Why the need for unregulated power supply? A simple LM78XX or LM317 wouldn't add much to the price or complexity.
  7. Thanks guys! The greatest thing about it is that it's about 15min ride from home and I wasn't placed in the Azores! Most of the people of finish the course are placed for 4-7 years in the Azores working in the Islands towers and control centres. I got to stay home near family, friends and girlfriend. And the pay is quite nice too! ps: Where's PAC MAN?
  8. I'm almost one! I'll be starting my final examination sometime in September! I started the course in March 2009, having both theory and lots of simulation hours in the various components of ATC (tower simulator, radar simulator, and so on) and finished last May. Since then I've been doing on job training in Tires aerodrome, a "small" airport nearby Lisbon with lots of business jets and small pilot school cessnas! We still don't have massage therapists even though that has been given some thought!
  9. Just got home, I landed about 200 airplanes planes today! My new office:
  10. There's a lot of people doing that with computers so you'd probably have lots of parts and stores to get liquid cooling stuff from! Or you could just get an old refrigerator compressor and put it to use!! Active cooling does always bring noise with it though!
  11. It could be!! But only if the wood has been cryo treated and internal wiring is 12AWG BBBS wire!!
  12. That's a crazy little bird, everyone knows you need a 400bhp V8 for the 701! either that or a cmoy!
  13. Let's just hope it's not audio related then, or at least headphone audio related|
  14. I have one question regarding batch convertion with dbpoweramp. I selected a bunch of albums I have and the destination folder but instead of creating a new folder for each album and keeping things organized, dbpoweramp just put all the songs together in the destination folder. I have to create folders individually and then convert each album individually. Any way to do batch converting of multiple albums and still keep folders organized?
  15. That's a nice winter bedtime heater! Birgir, really awesome chassis!
  16. Really Nice Pictures Inu!! I'm hoping that at least one of these will be present in the next canjam or big meet. I'm thinking of a US trip next year and it might just happen during canjam.
  17. I guess we should all pm you to check if we're on the whitelist then?
  18. Who needs a Stax when you can have a Gin?
  19. You guys are getting softer!! Two pages already and not a single shovel yet?
  20. That's a really nice amp!! Just love the clean, no BS design! How much did these sell for originally?
  21. I have 50down/5 up(advertised) for about 25€ here! Internet speed and cost is much better and cheaper here in Europe AFAIK. Here in Portugal latest speed advertised by ISPs is 300M down and 50up, using fiberoptic connections for about 50€ Still not available were I live though.
  22. Following from a previous post, why did you choose to go with a split bobbin transformer instead of a toroidal? Aren't toroidal trafos supposed to have less noise and be a better solution in SS audio applications?
  23. These look really nice and the price is really amazing!! Not being american I don't really care about all the made in the USA thing, but I certainly understand a am for supporting one's country economy and so kudos to you. I wish you all the best and would really love to heard one of these! Are you planing on selling these in Europe?
