spritzer

With a energizer you always sacrifice a bit of detail but gain slam and extra voltage swing.

In that case is just a crappy T-amp sold for way, way, way too much money. The batteries are also something I don't get. People always focus on the "no noise" and look past all the issues normal PSU's don't have.

I'll send you some, 2.5L of Cognac used for one batch...

Here is the list price in Iceland. 1$=119.32ISK....

Happy Birthday Gene!!!

That was indeed my point. Btw. Here are the switches in question: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/508476101/LA19_AJS_LED_illuminated_switch_push.html http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/485100004/IP65_Waterproof_Black_metal_Push_button.html

Ahh the joy of dealing with Yama's directly, a company mostly known for not picking up the telephone... ever!

Pile of parts from PCX. Bloody discount offers get me every time...

This a while back but the prices weren't so bad. Same goes for the other dual Toshiba's they had in stock.

About 10 or so.

I don't think anybody reads the spec sheets on those sites but these switches are indeed rated for 250VAC/3-5A. I own a bunch of those you linked to and if they were rated at 250VDC then they wouldn't have stood up to years of use at 230VAC...

Yup...

These are back amongst the living...

I got mine from FrozenCPU (it's a latching unit since I'm going to run the 230VAC directly to it) but these are just cheap Chinese switches these guys repackage. You can find them on Alibaba for around 60$ for 100 units which isn't a bad deal IMO. They are pretty cheaply made but easy enough to replace should I ever need to do so. Thanks, I'm really happy with it. Especially now that I've fitted everything to it and that brilliant Headamp volume knob.

Yup which was supposed to spark and shoot lightnings...

This one will certainly be sold some day since I'm going to build at least four of these... Which one I'll keep I don't know but I think I've cracked how to make the smallest offboard amp possible so that one will probably win out. It will require custom PSU PCB's but I have an "in" with the designer so I'm fairly sure that can be arranged... Indeed.

No idea what that is...

Front panel back from laser engraving. Still need to do some machining on it to get the volume pot to fit but it came out ok.

The IRC RC55LF's at Mouser could work for through hole resistors. I'm sure some Vishay's will work as well. Crazy audiophiles may think Neutrik isn't the best but they are just idiots.

In

Yup, they had them. I never pay list though... They also had a bag of J109's...

All these do is ground pin 3 so custom cables are easy to make. I made one for the T2 before I went and defiled the chassis with a range of connectors and a switch...

The 4CP TKD pots aren't that expensive and there is always the Alpha.

A certain set of LCD-2's...

I bought some 3675's locally that looked very strange to say the least but they do test like the real thing.
