I told Tyll not to imitate everything he sees on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMwWPAPpy0A

Have a great Birthday!

Ooooo shiny. I like shiny!

Thank-you kind Sir.

Pics?

I will not need any input transformers. Thanks

It needs moar blackgates.

moar blackgates?

It's a relay.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Steve!

I think the added boards are tent labs heater supplies not current source boards.

This is not a portable device. Is anybody asserting that the thermal noise performance of an smd resistor is as good or better than a larger resistor like a RN60? Is this a potential serious compromise?

DIYHiFi.org • View topic - Distortion in resistors Might be pertinent to the discussion.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just have a transformer shield added even if we have to pay to have it fabricated? Adding an extra case would surely be more expensive.

Agreed. Looking at what most people have committed to as boards for themselves, it looks like 4 channel builds are the most popular choice. It looks like only Pars and myself were looking at a 2 channel build. If it makes it easier I would up my board count by 2 and go balanced. This would make chassis machining decisions much easier, as they would all be the same.

How about just getting them from here?

Nice. And you can even get a Dusty approved faceplate.

How about a case with integral heatsinks? Something like this:

luvdunhill - 8 - 4 Asr - 0 - 4 Stretch - 0 - 4 looser101 - 4 -2

...and some cable ties.

Very interesting info from an insider. I'm glad I didn't panic and brick my 500's.

Happy New Year! All the best in 2009!
