Recommended Posts

I've started up this thread to give folks a place to offer their time/parts/labor whatever to help Icarium get his SP amp up and running and with a little luck maybe even sounding good. Hopefully this thread will to organize the effort that I'm sure has already begun via PM's.

If your unaware of Dan's situation:

And here we go!

This was the single box that was contained within the well packed double box:

Look how well packed these things are:

The new umbilicals!

Well I think it looks nice.

But uh oh... something is rattling and moving around inside! Could it be the infamous battery upgrade! Which Mikhail told me was something like 1k-1.2k! Something he said he could throw in to me for ~300!

So I open it up.

And this is when I discover that I might have overpaid a bit.

Well I guess this is what was rattling inside... practically the least of my worries.

And here is the amp section.. build quality seems nicer but potentially very square waveish?

Well that's that... I am very glad Tom that you are satisfied and that he flew out and made good for you. It looks like my own problems might have entered a new phase.

One thing really needed is a central ramrod - which I would NOT be able to do (look at my builds as proof) - but, someone will need to direct the traffic.

Tkam, can we pare the packing pics - just helps load before cached... though, the empty liquor bottles do help set the stage.
