Dream phone #2 of 3: SR Omega, finally

^ Oh snap, congrats.

Fancy Bosch Wiper Blades for all my cars as an experiment to see if those blade type ones work better. We shall see. Amazon made it amazingly painless to find the right ones.

You must have gotten the pair I bid on through Kuboten. Congrats.

Congrats on the SR-Omega Milos. I can't seem to recall if you have ever mentioned to me about listening to one, but regardless its awesome.

theywork better, but don't last as long in my experience

I've got to figure out how to use that crazy website. There must be something I'm missing, because it seems nonsensical to me.

Time to find out if automatic wire strippers are all they're cracked up to be.

Just to follow up on this purchase, they work well, given a somewhat limited scope of work. They don't, however, work for shit on anything that has teflon coating.

Does anything work well on teflon wire? I had just resigned myself that difficulty stripping teflon was the price I paid for being too careless to solder PVC wire without melting it.

Yesterday I ordered FPE panels for my y2 and Exstata. Today, $50 worth of S/S socket cap screws in various sizes and with/without black oxide.

I still got that horrible sinking feeling when placing the FPE order that one of my measurements will be wrong

A few shares of VSH (Vishay Intertechnology Inc). Its been going kinda nuts recently. Damn shame I'm still waiting on my tax refund

I find standard, old school wire strippers work just fine. I was just hoping to find a faster way. I'm also guessing that the type of auto=stripper that Marc linked to would work well.

I hear you, it can be a bit nerve wracking. And since you're on the east coast have you tried Cam-Expert? I would have thought they'd be cheaper and faster for you.

Probably a bunch of DIY'ers buying parts.

I will next time, absolutely. But because the big part of this order is for part of a matching stack with my DAC which already has FPE panels, I thought FPE was the safe bet to match colour and texture of the material.

Ouch. Methinks Nate needs a set of thermal teflon strippers.

The ones I use (I linked to them above) slice through Teflon like buttah. In fact I just finished some IC's made from Kimber TC wire and it stripped that teflon easily. Same goes for the Belden/Navship stuff.

The last thing I bought would be some Neutrik XLR's for the aforementioned IC's plus some generic XLR's and a cheap microphone cable for a ghetto AES/EBU cable.
