^ Confirmed that AMC is killing The Killing, though I know in an interview that Joel Kinnaman (Holder) had stated that he would pay to make Season 3 himself... But we have Walking Dead oh joy

Happy Birthday Todd!

^ that... and that

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I agree on intent to be helpful. I would suggest to the newb that they read and digest their welcome PM. Necro-bumping threads seems to be a good way for a newb to invoke das banstick...

Probably not. GR would be preferred because of the higher hFe (not sure why)? Note: hFE (1) classification O: 70~140, Y: 120~240, GR: 200~400 Not sure who the preferred Euro suppliers are. I see Dalbani has them in GR: http://www.dalbani.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?WEBEVENT+L062A634E589221006B28003+M36+ENG

Let me see what I have laying around... I don't know what shipping would be like, but Mouser has the Fairchild version of these for 7 cents apiece, or 3.7 cents in 100. Unfortunately, they don't have the GR grade in the C1815 NPN. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/KSA1015YTA/?qs=ljbEvF4DwONgdKizIuxI5UKMGOiR5dCFrGZORl6qhPg%3d http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/KSC1815YTA/?qs=ljbEvF4DwOPz7O2KUMOsr34RMcYiO0wN MCM has them for 5 cents: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/2SA1015 http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/2SC1815

The picture looks fine (from what I remember). For $3, you aren't risking much. Test them for sure.

RIP Sally

This. Haven't checked this thread for awhile. Reks: hope you have things worked out. Getting married is stressful, Dan has it right. Jim:

R.I.P.

Bitchin' Dusty! Congrats!

RIP. Yep, watched a lot of McHale's Navy, as well as Airwolf. I thought he was great in the Bruce Willis movie not that long ago (name escapes me) as well.

Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Birgir!

I'd read my welcome PM if I were you, then STFU. Also, lol doesn't play well here (see Nenso)...

Happy Birthday Greg! Hope it was a good one!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Justin!

You should be able to tell something with a meter by ohming out R (ring) to ground (sleeve) and L (tip) to ground. Not sure what you might see if it has a pot inline... I'm guessing the pot will be a constant impedance towards the source/amp. If you suspect the pot, get rid of it when you rewire. Playing around with existing wires that might be flaky is an exercise in futility....

Sucks. Best wishes to you and all out there.

For the 4.7uf caps, I don't think polypropylene is required. I believe the std. cap for this is a Wima MKS. As you discovered, polypropylene in 4.7uf will be large.

Rudolfs, You might save some time and money on the sigma22 by getting a kit from Jeff Rossell at Glass Jar Audio... http://glassjaraudio.com/product.sc?productId=3 I know he will allow kit configuration to an extent, so if you already have a transformer, etc. he would probably work with you on that.
