September 16, 200916 yr Yeah, that plug is why I used the Woo on the XPM - no other use for it in comparison.
September 16, 200916 yr You built that by hand That some seriously good work guys. I remember seeing it on HF thinking you sent away for them to be machined, they looked that well done.
September 16, 200916 yr You built that by hand That some seriously good work guys. I remember seeing it on HF thinking you sent away for them to be machined, they looked that well done. They were machined...machined by Dr. Wood. And thanks for the kind words, your free headphone stand will be shipped soon, as per our agreement.
September 17, 200916 yr how about some of these specifically designed for O2's SIEVEKING SOUND OMEGA HEADPHONE STAND (ZEBRANO) - elusivedisc Dr. wood, i know you can do a better job.
September 17, 200916 yr Sieve King? Sieve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yup, that's what I thought it meant. Odd name for a company that doesn't make sieves...OR DO THEY?!?!? Or maybe "sievek" is a verb in another language, and they are in the process of sieveking... Edited September 17, 200916 yr by Dusty Chalk
September 17, 200916 yr Well, now we know who sells them in the US, Al! Very cool! 40th Birthday present for yourself?
September 19, 200916 yr precision automation is such a wonderful thing... http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/ampbars.jpg That is enough for 4 amplifiers, left another 8 at work, on monday the same thing except 10 inches for the power supplies... Heatsinks will be in house in about 3 weeks, program already written and tested on a hunk of wax... Then the front/back panels after that, then the circuit board order. Top and bottom panels are a no brainer.
September 19, 200916 yr How do you test heatsinks on a hunka wax? Ya test the gcode on the wax, not the heat
September 19, 200916 yr I'm picturing him molding the heatsinks out of wax -- -- but seriously, I know that's not right: 1 - what would he use for heat sources? He's not going to waste real components on that. 2 - it wouldn't work anyway -- they'd melt starting at the heat sources, rather than at the fins. So seriously -- what is he doing -- does he already have the heatsinks molded, and he's putting a wax film on it to make sure the heat is getting dissipated evenly?
September 19, 200916 yr The heatsinks need to be drilled and tapped by a computer controlled mill. He uses a similarly sized (to the production heat sink) block of wax to test the drilling routine he has made.
September 19, 200916 yr Dr. wood, i know you can do a better job. Well unfortunately I don't have a resaw ATM. And my planers lowest setting is 1/4". I'd need to find a source for 1/16" exotic stock. I suppose I could use veneers, but it would change the look slightly (more and thinner layers).
September 20, 200916 yr And here I thought luvdunhill was kidding -- thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.
September 27, 200916 yr And the companion amplifier to the T2, the SRX circuit as built by stax (the $12k thing) with help from you know who. Option of the caddok completely non-inductive plate resistors, or the T2 current source. Fits in the same size chassis with the same size power supply boxes... http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxsrx2-1.pdf Could be under $2500 in parts total with the good sockets and the DACT. Blows the crap out of the ES1/2... Got to go to a meeting, will glue the pdf's together later... Especially with the caddok current sources, this one is a complete no-brainer to build! Hardly any parts.
October 5, 200916 yr atempted delivery today of 346 lbs of heatsinks. I was not home, and not notified that it was coming. Redelivery thursday...
October 5, 200916 yr atempted delivery today of 346 lbs of heatsinks. There aren't enough 'eek' smileys on the whole internet to cover that one.
October 5, 200916 yr @@ I wonder if the guy wheeled it to your door before checking if you were home~
