Purk, Shoot Mike a PM on Head-Fi, he's been receiving gear at his office for the meet.

I do not think it is what you think it is. Either that or it's news to me...

Say what now?

There's no way that that post is from Jennifer. If it is...

What a colossal crock of shit.

Happy Birthday guys!

You know, I was afraid of PTP wiring for the longest time but the more that I thought about it I figured it was pretty much the same approach that I take when laying out a project in a chassis. In the end it wasn't really all that big of a deal and I actually enjoyed the experience a great deal.

Nah, just the balanced version should ensure that you never get it.

I believe that KG was talking about Pete's ampp.

You haven't even heard about pricing yet, you sure you still want to sign up? It might make Pete's 307A amp look affordable...

Why didn't you just call the police? In the US at least there are noise ordinances that would have kicked in long before 5am.

I'm thinking of wait times that'll make Singlepower look like drive-thru.

NICE!

Ignoring the "buy" part of that statement I believe that Pete said he was going to bring his to CanJam so we could see how it does. I think that I'd read (but clearly never tried myself) about folks using the original with decent results. Sure, you can create a waiting list, of course all it will amount to is that you'll have a place to wait indefinitely.

Asshats, all of you, ASSHATS!!!

Thanks Mike. I doubt it'll get lots, IIRC from NYC there was a whole host of tasty gear. Never going to happen. No serial numbers, no production. If you want this amp (or more correctly one like it) you're going to have to learn to DIY.

Not the best of pictures but it was late and once again I found myself short on sleep and time. From last night, during the final round of testing.

Hmmm, of the top of my head at least 4, maybe 5... That's ignoring projects that have already been started and not finished...

*shuffles feet* It's not that bad...

More options is always better! Thanks Pete.

Thanks Kevin, I'll have to swing by my local West Marine and see if they've got anything similar in stock. I'd greatly prefer to use something like that rather the glue technique.

You're not wrong, I certainly wouldn't offer to do it for that. I just find it somewhat odd that he's offering them like that, I would think that the market would be very limited.

Thanks Kevin, I'll have to get busy googling. I haven't seen those at the usual suspects like Antique Electronics, Percy or Parts Connexion. I'm sorry, but in my mind duct tape is a far worse solution than hot glue. I'm sure it's fine for insulation between the caps but as a permanent or even semi permanent mount no way. If I'm going to do something other than hot glue I want a solid mechanical connection, not adhesive.

Once again I'd caution folks about considering what is listed there as a "price" for the amp. There's a fair bit of work and cost left after simply populating the PCBs, I'd say more than half the work is remaining and around 1/3 or more of the total price. Still, it is a pretty good value if you don't want to stuff the boards yourself (which is quite tedious).
