The E90 is still the weak link, all you're likely doing by using the MPX3 is coloring the sound of your source the in the same way that you are used to.

Sewed a couple buttons, soldered some stuff, now cooking dinner for one.

Looking at the hi-res version of the pic they sure just look like cut bits of teflon tubing.

I've already spotted somethings working better, thanks Todd!

As you wish. Clearly the cleanliness was short lived... In nice shape and NO GROUND LOOPS! Oh, and I picked this little guy up today too for the main rig.

Picked up an Adcom GTP-400 on my way home for the soldering rig.

These strike me as perfect candidates for the first HF-2 woody. If I wasn't pooling capital for other reasons right now I'd give it a shot.

I don't expect it's a permanent hole in Todd's lineup but I don't have any idea what (if any) replacement would look like. And nothing Nugget Audio would or could ever produce would replace the TTVJ 307A.

I happened to look at Todd's site this morning (which is new?!?) and the 307A is no longer listed.

It doesn't take much to cut the plastic bezel to allow the board to protrude into the cavit it creates behind the back panel. Not that I've had to do anything like that before...

No chance that you're forgetting the fact that the Hammond end panels already essentially have a shim built into the plastic bezel?

Knowing Doug I'd be somewhat surprised if it had gain.

Even less for some of us.

The case is about 12" long, right?

Depending on which version of Windows this was it's highly likely that it didn't touch the file structure of non-windows OS related files. And you just use the free trial of gotomypc or something like that to have a look at it.

Happy Birthday, Colin!

That amp is officially looooooooooooooooong, can't wait to hear more about it.

Happy Birthday, Steve!

Haj, At the rate models are introduced you're always going to feel like you're overpaying. As long as you're not buying the day something comes out you're probably not doing badly, IMO, so just find something you like, buy it, and then ignore the temptation to see what it's currently selling for. Odds are whatever you buy is going to be phased out and upgraded, retooled or whatever within 12mo. It's borderline insane what Nikon and Cannon have been up to for the last 5 or 6 years and I don't see how it can continue.

Ehhh, I'm not sure I agree. It's not that I think glass should be a secondary consideration but I still don't have as much invested in glass as my D80 body cost. I think a vast majority of hobbyist shooters could live long, happy photographic lives with say a D90 body and a 18-200 VR lens. The body would run you ~$800, the lens ~$760. So my advice would be to look at it more from a 50/50 perspective rather than a majority directed at either purchase. Hell, most would probably be just fine with the D90 kit that includes the 18-105 VR lens at just a tick over $1000.

I think in the end you'll find that you would have been comfortable paying more.

Solid 8" here, very heavy, huge pain in the ass to clear the driveway even with the snow blower.

Happy Birthday!

No Jack, it's completely different (at least how I see it). When Grado (the manufacturer of the goods) dictates a price at least part of the justification is so that their margins stay in line with where they need them to be to survive. They know how much it costs them to make a 225, TTVJ doesn't. So, when Amazon dictates a price, they dictate the price to the manufacturer and therefore dictate what the manufacturers profits/margins will be. Granted it's not quite that simple and there are others far better equipped to explain it.
