Mattresses
I was doing mattress research when I needed a new one a few years back and ended up getting a NovaForm memory foam mattress. Way cheaper than the Tempurpedic's I saw. I love it. I also got a memory foam pillow and like it way more than my other pillows. If I were to do it all over I'd look seriously at latex too.

Recommend a shop vac?
I use the one linked for cleaning up chips on the CNC and it works well enough. There's also a Stanley in the same price range that is taller and on wheels.

Oppo PM-1 & PM-2
I heard one of the prototypes, no idea which version. The FR is very nice, one of the most neutral orthos I've heard. Beyond that though, they sounded really closed in (like LCD2 kinda) and slow/lacking detail for an ortho. Methinks they put too many layers on that diaphragm. And the S Logic pads confuse me.

I think I used a credit card to get most of it off and then wiped the rest off with Q tips and hydrogen peroxide.

Megatron Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier
Anybody local have 2x LT1021-10 I can buy ASAP? I'm done populating my Megatron and KGSSHV PSU boards and wanted to take this amp to the meet on Sat but I forgot to order that part. I don't think ordering from digikey will reach me in time unless I pay $64 to overnight the 8oz package.

Is there much difference between working with one of those and the standard Hakko?

The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!
Is he talking about the hole on the front panel? May as well make it 8 since the knob will cover the hole.

Mint condition these days you're probably looking at close to $2000. Very good condition goes for about $1800 from what I've seen. I'd recommend just getting a nice mk2 (not mk2.5) and doing the spritzer mods to convert it to a mk1 with a strain relief.

Yea flexy. It's basically the same thing as the salamander as far as I can tell but much cheaper. I think I built my 6 shelf, 3 leg version for about $75.
