It really is kind of scary. Especially in a state like California, where the police and attorney offices are the only thing keeping all society from crumbling. Living in the North Bay, i know that crime is high enough already... telling everyone they will not be prosecuted for their actions..... wow

so it hasn't re-fried yet? interesting whoops, just read your chat post.... sorry bout the troubles your having.

Canon F4 IS 70-200mm Telephoto lense Got a great deal, still a huge deposit on my photography though

hmm. Im guessing none of the wiring is off, since that is pretty obvious and easy to notice.... Im not sure where to start there, besides checking the solder connections on all of the electrolytics and diodes.

holy heatsinks! Thats the one thing that strikes me first every time i see the inside of a beta, they sheer number of heatsinks. I love the sound of the Beta22, i just cannot justify the price difference compared to quality difference up from the M^3. You will love it though, especially with all that work already completed. Make sure to check for shorts in all the basic places before you light it up. Don't want to light your face on fire. *I always regret nabbing the Amveco transformer that my Sigma 1 is using instead of paying the seperate shipping cost for something less..... tiny. As soon as i get my next *meager* paycheck i plan on remedying that mistake. I guess thats the nice thing about transformers, they are not that hard to replace as long as the case you are using has the space for it.

Thanks for the great guide! I have flirted with and then been turned away from the idea of attempting a recable job myself on my d2000s a few times already. This guide makes me want to try again.

last i went there, Rat Shack did sell molex connectors. They are about 20x overpriced, but whatever haha. Dont quote me on that though, each one is different.

Hooray running Ubuntu and Knoppix Live! I have the home computer dual booting, since my family doesnt understand anything without the logo of the evil empire in the bottom left hand corner (they think Vista is gods gift to humanity). I spend half my life using Knoppix to cure everything Vista lets in.

Still debating on traveling down there after my San Luis tour... Ill be so close, yet so far away. (Hitchhiking with audio gear doesnt seem smart)

I would like to put in a word about my experiences with Audio-gd. The first thing i should say is that i did NOT in fact purchase anything from this company. I spent many weeks considering a Compass, but never actually made the order. This is due in large part to the rapid and thorough responses i got to my emails and inquiries, and definitely not in a bad way. I was sure i wanted to get this amp/DAC combo, but after dozens of replied emails, both from kingwa and others, i was convinced it is not the option for me. Despite the fact that they knew they were turning me away from immediate business with them, they worked to help me with my personal needs, and pointed me toward more DIY solutions. I happened to want bang for my buck equipment and love building, so the M3 is a perfect match for me. To summarize, between the amazing starter deals Kingwa gives out and his selfless advice, i feel that this company truly cares more about your opinion of the company and your eventual satisfaction than making a large profit. They work hard for their customers, even the ones who do not end up purchasing anything

Living in california, and going to school with a large number of asian kids, i can say two things for sure: 1. If they all had American names, i for one would have trouble telling one from the other (sorry Mr. Nyeugn *pronounced "ng") 2. Living in a very liberal state, saying something like that in say San Francisco will get you shot, even if the kids don't ride around with gun racks on their toys haha. I guess everywhere has varying degrees of heavy-handedness, and for different reasons. Still, is it worse than having The Terminator as your governor?
