September 16, 200916 yr comment_276972 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. Report

September 17, 200916 yr comment_277335 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 Report

September 19, 200916 yr comment_277644 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. Report
September 19, 200916 yr comment_277723 How do you test heatsinks on a hunka wax? Ya test the gcode on the wax, not the heat Report
September 19, 200916 yr comment_277745 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? Report
September 19, 200916 yr comment_277775 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. Report
September 19, 200916 yr comment_277796 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). Report

September 27, 200916 yr comment_280216 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. Report
