  1. As I stated before Nate, I thought you did an excellent job on the review. As for being a hybrid, I would not think solid state current sources or whatever he is using the sand for (other than a gain or buffer stage) would be considered hybrid, but what do I know...
  2. Doug, Followers of voldemort will never accept RMAA measurements as being valid. The person asking in the comments is one such individual.
  3. The LSJ109 hasn't been released yet. Don't get Kevin's BP up discussing this failure on Linear Systems part to come out with P-ch JFETs Read the datasheet for the LSK389... I don't think the letters have anything to do with package type though. I think that is the IDSS grading.
  4. I would think that a transformer sized similarly to a beta22 would be sufficient. For my 2-ch Dynahi, I used a SumR 2x30V 120VA transformer, which would be overkill for a balanced Dynahi. I think 80VA is normally about what Amb recommends for a balanced b22? EDIT: I don't have any problem with inrush current on this, but am using a single sigma22 with it, which starts up slowly. YMMV depending on what you are using for PSU(s).
  5. Anything helpful here? http://www.hifi2000.it/default.asp?id=0&ACT=19
  6. Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday Al! Hope you have a great one, and don't let work kick you!
  8. Haven't looked at mine... Seems like j4cbo is unloading all of his stuff (see FS threads), so looks like he never got his built. He also hasn't weighed in on any of the threads with any build/turn-up experiences (that I have seen... may have been a couple of posts over on hf).
  9. Very nice and well written review Nate! And congrats Doug! I have no doubt that this amp sounds really good, judging from the past work of yours I have heard.
  10. As suggested elsewhere, you need to re-read your welcome PM. Digging up an almost year-old thread to post about SSDs, when there is already at least one other thread discussing SSDs and their use in a MBP isn't a good way to start. Such as this one:
  11. Nice Jim... sounds like you (and the family) had fun!
  12. Happy Birthday!
  13. Already did that...
  14. Rented an appliance dolly and with the help of my two sons, tried to move a huge ass old side by side refrigerator from the basement to the garage. Tried being the key word. The basement stairs go straight into a wall with only 3' clearance, right angle turn. Had the fridge on the stairs sans appliance dolly, but just couldn't do it as I was afraid someone was going to get hurt. So back down into the basement. I guess once I figure out how to get the freon removed from it, I'll cut it up with a reciprocating saw and get it out that way. Major fail on my part having it put down there instead of the garage when we moved into this house Not sure what the fuck I was thinking. Any advice on getting it out of there appreciated.
  15. Happy Birthday!
  16. Hehe... like!
  17. Happy Birthday!
  18. It always killed me when I lived in Texas that there were dry counties... and then you could go to a Red Barn drive thru liquor store for those times when you were too drunk to get out of the car...
  19. Happy Birthday!
  20. Good luck, and hopefully by Friday, you will be!

    What is a SUSE Dynamite?
  22. Happy Birthday!
  23. If you search this very thread, there seems to be quite a history of fake K216s, as well as some advice on how to test them?
  24. You'll need to find something in 5.08mm (0.200") pitch. I've used the Molex SPOX connectors like this one but they aren't available in right angle versions. Also, these fit in place of the Phoenix terminal blocks that these guys like to use, but the pin diameter might be a bit large for connectors other than power. http://www.mouser.co...Qixpihfsw%3d%3d Something like this might work for you: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-PCD/ELFH03210/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsDddcp1dBDJK2doOjtsIcj%2fmF1ZM3ZuFk%3d
  25. If the Black Gates are just the standard series and in the PSU, I would just replace them with something Panasonic in the right form factor. Something like Panasonic FM if standard radial. You probably won't be able to chase down BGs, and if you could, pricing will likely be insane. I personally don't think they are that good anyhow, and are an 85°C cap anyhow, ve. 105°C for good Panasonics or Nichicons. You might also replace the PSU rectifiers with Shottky as well. I typically use 11DQ10s or 31DQ10s for higher current applications.
