Where'd you find the brilliant tech who did that?

Hey in my defense I was just standing there lookin' at gear when Mike says "hey you, can you fix this?" I never back down from a challenge.

I won't believe this unless it was one of those fancy wood capacitors.

Haha

The guy repairs/restores vintage tube amps and McIntosh amps in Chamblee GA...and by all accounts he is competent at that. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was thinking/measuring in preamp land...the 0.4 uF is passable, if not the best choice, into a 50K load (which I confirmed by feeding the SDS into a Gilmore V2 amp - sounds fairly flat that way). Hell, many old Mc amps have a 200K input impedance - should be perfectly fine into that. However, into a 300 ohm load the roll-off is comical. I did google-learn more about coupling caps values and rolloff points thanks to this little issue - yay!

Lesson learned - it's now going to a guy I respect and trust completely over at Audio Atlanta for the simple corrective operation. I'd have to courage to do it myself if I had a few drinks in me, but then I shouldn't be poking around in this amp under those conditions

Didn't buy it recently... In fact, bought it so long ago that I had forgotten about it completely until an email showed up with tracking info.

Vaja leather case for my Omnia. Going to take some getting used to... The phone is pretty small and comfortable in my hand, and the case, especially when open, is significantly bigger. But I've also been lucky with my last few phones... Drops have resulted in very little damage. But I don't want to continue to press my luck! And I've been very happy with my Vaja iPod case.

Creek OBH-11 with WM080 Elpac for $80. I have no idea how it sounds stock, but it should be fun to mod the hell out of this thing until Tangent finishes the PimetaV2 board.

silver epoxy and silver thermal grease... moar Ag!

sounds pretty decent, believe it or not

Four bottles of Kosta Browne Pinot. The best way to upgrade my audio gear.

Great! But I'm still going to mod it anyway .

And then you'll bring it to CanJam for all of us to hear, right?

Man, I wish. I think all my weekends are booked between now and 2013.

Can't you get someone to replace you for one weekend at your "escort" service job.

for me it was what I didn't buy, I guess. Nokia N85 pricing error at dell, got the cancelation e-mail from them. But still waiting for the ~$80 to come back to my paypal account, might have a few things I want to buy, so hope it gets here soon.

Would have been amazing if I did get the phone at that price though.

Four Goodyear Eagle GT tires, alignment, and all the associated stuff.

I feel poor.

Nope, I am irreplaceable...there's always cloning I guess...

Rudolf Bruil's Universal Record Stabilizing Ring with center weight. I've wanted one of these for almost two years now. Awesome.

sweet, how's it?

That's no 1200

That's quite the contraption!

Well actually, my friend/roommate bought it for me since the law doesn't allow me to do so myself :/.

Do you really think it's a good idea to post that -- admittedly hearsay -- illegal activity is transpiring? I doubt your friend/roommate would be too pleased. I know I'd never do that for you.

Considering the lack of details, I think I (and my friend) will be alright.
