October 26, 200718 yr comment_60150 DigiPete, did you use the Naviships spc? I am putting the finishing touches on Fostex 166 full range BLH cabinets with Purpleheart and quartersawn White Oak trim. Finished last night a DIY Paradize Charlize II amp for the office, so now I will try to determine what went out on my Flying Mole CA-S3. Kind of frustrating, all solder joints are fine, the fuse looks OK, nothing seems fried. It just stopped working two weeks ago so I am without music in my main room. Nope it wasnt navships, can't remember where I got it, some boutique dealer... Report
October 27, 200718 yr comment_60428 Somebody needs to beat you with a common sense stick then because if you think for one second that I am gonna run a group buy for a "SOHA buffer" without testing them in a SOHA you need it worse then I already thought. (I would have thought you had learned by now to be more careful with what you say to me) Careful is as careful does. I thought I had learned by now that you hated tubes. Interesting marketing method to attract customers, though. Report
October 27, 200718 yr Author comment_60451 Now that my headphones are completed, I'm working on a design for a new amp for them. Report
October 27, 200718 yr comment_60466 i've been saving candle wax (the unmelted portion of the pillar candles i like) in order to make my own. i'll post pics once i have my fist candle made Hey, are you going from instructions for this, or are you just winging it? I wouldn't mind doing something similar. Report
October 27, 200718 yr comment_60467 Hey, are you going from instructions for this, or are you just winging it? I wouldn't mind doing something similar. I don't think there's much magic to it, you just need to have real candle wick to make it work. Just soaking string in wax to impregnate it with fuel won't work very well. Otherwise it's just find a vessel, heat wax and pour around wick. My mom used to recycle candles. Report
October 27, 200718 yr comment_60528 The wax container -- the mold, essentially. What are you using for the mold? Report
October 28, 200718 yr comment_60586 Candle DIY...sweet. After clearing off my workbench, I plan on making one of these. I'm making it specifically for Grados, and I'm thinking of using ECC99's for the tubes (I was thinking 12B4a, but I think I want a current production tube). Report
October 28, 200718 yr comment_60643 Yeah, to think it all started with candles made out of crayons. I can't go into their stores, though. The overwhelming perfume from their various candles makes me sick and gives me massive headache. Report
October 28, 200718 yr comment_60652 Just leave it in the jar -- a jar candle -- you know, that'd work for me, I think I'll do that. Report
October 28, 200718 yr comment_60660 i don't think i've ever been to one of their stores. i get fragrance headaches, too, so i have to have very mild smelling candles and incense (the exception is nag champa incense which, while strong, never gives me a headache). nag champa!! Reks is a closet hippie! see you in the lot, wook wook. Report
October 28, 200718 yr comment_60664 Spent the last 5 hours chasing down a hum problem in my amp. Fixed it by putting shielded cables all over the place. Now it's quiet, and I can listen in peace. Report
October 29, 200718 yr comment_60794 All of the parts for the mini3-2 have arrived. Now if I could just get out of work before 9 tonight I might actually get to start something. :'( Report
October 29, 200718 yr comment_60796 should the pk1's be rewired for balanced 4pin in anticipation of mating with your mini3-2? or whatever jacks you decided on.. Report
October 29, 200718 yr comment_60813 should the pk1's be rewired for balanced 4pin in anticipation of mating with your mini3-2? or whatever jacks you decided on.. The mini3-2 will be getting the 4-pin treatment. I've been swayed, it's one less hole to cut and I'm lazy. Report
October 29, 200718 yr comment_60819 The mini3-2 will be getting the 4-pin treatment. I've been swayed, it's one less hole to cut and I'm lazy. GE, thrice, and grawk have swayed me as well. If I ever go balanced, it's going to be 4 pins for the headphone connector. Still 2 x 3 pins for interconnects of course. Report
October 29, 200718 yr comment_60829 Wait, what do you mean? He means 4 pin should be the standard for interconnects as well Report
October 29, 200718 yr comment_60832 He means 4 pin should be the standard for interconnects as well Hehe. Cable companies would suffer. Report
