  1. I used to prefer dealing with Digikey until a couple of years ago. Mouser has really stepped up their game.
  2. Try TAW Electronics... they seem to have them, thought their search function is a bit wonky. Capacitors, Resistors, Connectors, LED, Varistors from WIMA, AOP, PIHER, NEMCO, FISHER, CAPAX, ARCO, SAURO, SFI If you go to the MKP10 section, try page 5.
  3. I was always (well, at least as long as I've lived in Chicago and there was one around) partial to Edwardo's, but I prefer thin crust pizza. I really don't like Lou Malnati's, but have only eaten at the one in Naperville. There used to be a place downtown Naperville that had great deep dish and thin pizza; Leonardo's. Driven out like many downtown N'Ville in favor of national chains
  4. You can run a BOM output (ULP IIRC) in Eagle... not sure how much this would help you as far as where things are (top or bottom).
  5. I thought the Eagle files were around somewhere?
  6. From my limited experience re. heat, my 2 ch Dynahi so far doesn't run very hot at all (biased at 75mA). It is built on hifi2000 pesante heatsinks (1 per channel). The sigma22 seems to run hotter than either amp channel does, though I haven't cased the whole thing up yet. Digger945 had his dynamite at CJ, and I didn't recall it seeming hot either? He can perhaps weigh in on this. I haven't heard either a beta22 or an M^3, so can't comment. Also haven't heard a DynaFET either.
  7. I'd take a copy youngc1 at comcast dot net Thanks Pete!
  8. ^ And no Voltrons harmed in the process

    How can you guarantee that the recording itself is in phase? And in phase with itself (i.e., every microphone or recording track with all others)? I guess I've never listened for it, and don't currently have any gear with a phase switch on it anyhow, other than my brother's Adcom CDP which I still have. Hmmmm.
  10. All the providers have what is called asymmetrical service, hence the (much) lower upload speeds. They don't like talk of symmetrical service, though some do provide it at a much higher price. I don't believe current cable technologies can offer symmetrical service as their upstream bandwidth is more or less an afterthought.
  11. I could be wrong, but viewing this as part of the recording chain: the microphone(s) pick up the sound waves and convert to an electrical representation, normally ~20-20KHz. From this point until the signal is reconverted back to sound waves, ideally that same flat 20-20KHz is maintained. As mentioned, most electronics are very flat (or can be); the microphone or any transducer won't be, but in general strives to be barring special circumstances. So, an amplifier or other electronic device that is not flat could be viewed as a tone control.
  12. Congrats Stretch!
  13. Same sentiment Fitz (and Steve, and Shelly). Tyll really needs to leave the lingerie at home... my effin' eyes
  14. I was still planning to build up a pair of the boards I have as drop-in/swap-in replacements for my Dynahi (still uncased ). I could use a BOM as well. Mine are the thru-hole boards.
  15. That sucks Jeff! Hopefully the protection units did their job <<crosses fingers>>
  16. Did anyone who listened to this amp at CJ try different phones with it? I was meaning to, but got sidetracked and never did. My brother wants me to build this for use with his K501s. Rated impedance of these is 120 ohms.
  17. It was great to meet everyone, and I would echo Ryan's thoughts which were much more eloquent than anything I could write. It takes a big person to put themselves out there to possible rejection or what not. This is a very special community, so I don't think you will find that here.
  18. It was really great to meet all of you, and it was our pleasure to host this. Thanks to all the volunteers also, as you made our jobs much easier. Had a great time, especially Saturday nite!

    Duggeh, I have a Nokia charger, but it is marked OutputDC 5.7V, 800mA. Higher voltage and current, its gotta sound better, right? I can bring it if you want. Otherwise, I'll theoretically* have one of those lithium charger dealies with me. * assuming I don't forget it
  21. And here I thought someone was just warming this thread up for this weekend
  22. I'd 3rd Colin's advice, and elaborate slightly. Connect the shield to the outer ring on one end only. The end with the shield connected is normally used on the source end of the cable. Looks like a nicely constructed plug.
  23. Too bad about his passing yesterday. I can't believe his wife, which he was in divorce proceedings with, actually tried to tell the judge that he wasn't as sick as he was making out to be. If you saw him on Hollywood Blvd., you could see he was pretty frail. RIP Dennis.
  24. Yeow! Hope you are feeling better (and are better) as well!
