That cable is a giant pile of fail, yikes.

I would put the odds of that happening at 0.

And therein lies the step most overlooked.

Yes, the stock tubes are labeled by position and the bias is set correctly for them in those positions.

Sorry Steve, I bring the suck lately.

I'll post a picture of a tube as a hint/clue some time soon which will probably say enough. And clearly there is no hope.

It is worth noting that in order to provide the above "smart" suggestion one must also have made the same dumb mistake. That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes (paraphrased), "Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."

edit marc beat me to it.

1 x custom Power Trafo from Electraprint 2 x custom Choke from Electraprint 1 x One Electron Choke from AES 100+ misc parts from Angela Instruments still more to go, lord help me.

Hypothetically speaking, since I'm not giving advice in any official capacity you'd want to make sure of at least two things: 1. That you have not used nails in tension. Nails in tension will creep over time and back their way out of most holes. 2. That whatever screws that you have used are rated for tension loads. Lots of people like to inappropriately use drywall screws for everything and they have little to no tension value. Basically I'd hate to see a creation like that fail, I'm a fan of function over form so I like them a lot. And what concerns me is that your floor probably moves a bit when you walk on it and that'll be what eventually causes a problem at the attachment points.

Trust me, just because something supports a load temporarily does not mean that it is permanently capable of doing the same thing.

The structural engineer in me cringes at how those are mounted. I'd never let anyone walk under those if it was my house. Yikes.

My suggestion would be to cut it even larger and make a contrasting ring of wood outside the tweeter so that it looks intentional.

Elephas, The trimpots (gold screws) are recessed slightly but are still accessible without removing the top panel and yes, exactly like your SRM-T1W it will involve sticking probes into the stax jack and making adjustments. I did it with the BHSE when I had it on loan from Justin for the NYC meet, it is not difficult.

Yes, it is good (so far) and I look forward to getting to know it for a while. I'm hoping it'll also serve as motivation to get busy on another project that's been languishing a bit as of late.

Yes but with the caveat that paypal won't offer you anything in the way of protection or means to recover the funds so I'd only advise using it for transactions that you're 100% sure of.

I think I may know a member, emails will be dispatched tomorrow.

I didn't buy anything. I agreed to do some work on Voltron's SRM-T1W in exchange for a little loan.

Nice Ken, good choice there. And congrats Deepak. A stat amp arrived at my door today as well so I can start rocking to the L-sigs tonight.

Welcome to Head-Case Brady and not that I have the final opinion on such matters but I think your post is just fine. I think Velo will appreciate the heads-up.

Movie posters everywhere just became offended.

You can adjust the BHSE bias without removing the top panel, just wait for instructions from Justin.
