Happy Birthday!

x6!

oh... fuck..

I assume these will work for normal Ipods (nano, etc.) as well?

Yep, good luck. How soon is your surgery scheduled?

I was out with my wife yesterday and she was looking at beads when I ran across some beads that might work for this called bugle beads. They are available in both glass (czech glass) and in what they refer to as base metal (whatever that is), something like these: Beadfx - Liquid Metal and Tube Beads Apparently you can get different lengths and diameters.

SPDIF is a system; the transmit circuitry, the cable/connectors and the receive circuitry. If you are using RCA connectors, you have deviated from 75 ohms right there. Most transmit/receive circuits are also not terminated correctly (regardless of equipment price). The cable length also matters. Jocko, etc. all think that 1.5m or greater is the minimum length. Dan Lavry thinks it should be as short as possible. I would tend towards the >1.5m. Of the cables you tried, the Stereovox has a good reputation for being technically correct. You can search diyaudio and diyhifi.org for more technical details. Dan Lavry posted on hf in a cable thread regarding the length issue, but Jocko is/was an RF engineer and knows what he is doing (if you can get him to tell you ).

Happy Birthday!

Very nice Kevin. That is one impressive project!

Pulled the trigger on a Pass Aleph P preamp w/remote.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Nate!

The caps he used had a Dv/Dt of 1200 or so IIRC. I figured out which ones they were at one time, but could never find them... probably have to go direct which he can do easily, but us mere mortals can't

I seem to recall reading this on the DynaHi thread on hf. I was skeptical, but I do know that Dr. Gilmore used some crazy fast Illinois Caps in his original Dynalo supply psu (last caps in the PSU). Just curious how big of FMs you were using? 470uf I would guess... I thought I would try 100uf in the one I am nearing completion on, but might try some film in it and see if I hear anything.

2.0.07 is the one I am using. I ripped up all the traces and decided to route the signal stuff manually, as I already knew how I wanted them done. I'll let the autorouter deal with the remnants after I lock the ones I did manually

I did a schematic first and used that to generate the board... only way to do it IMO. Fortunately, it will import Eagle libraries (when exported in the correct format), which helps alot. I was having a hard time figuring out how to do my own in Diptrace, and since I can't use it at home (PC only), my time is limited.

How do you autoroute one at a time? Also, is there an easy way to set default trace width? It seems to default to a pretty small trace. I did figure out how to set the width for an entire net, but would like to also default tos omething larger.

Question regarding Diptrace. I decided to try this because I was laying out a board that was way outside of Eagle's capabilities (free version). This is a vertical backplane board housing 6 pairs of XLRs and 6 pairs of RCAs, some relays, etc. Do you guys trust the autorouter? I manually placed the jacks on 1: x and 1.5: y grid, and locked them. I then manually placed the relays in the best spot (I think), locked them, then let it place the rest of the components. I adjusted some net trace widths, but let it autoroute. Seemed OK once I did a few tweaks to it, but just wanted to get some input, as I normally wouldn't trust an autorouter in a non-commercial package.

Hope it gets feeling better Nate. Don't hesitate going to an orthopedics doctor if it doesn't get better on its own. Sorry about the sucky weather as well

Happy Birthday Naaman!

Didn't know where to put this... I bumped the set of Ultralink locking bananas I had for sale on HF (and here). I got a pm asking me if these would work for a K1000 pigtail, which I assume is a cable to connect them to speaker terminals? As long as the binding posts accept banans, I would assume so, but thought I would ask.

From what I have heard regarding buying that 2.7 out from under filburt, that to me is unforgiveable. Interesting way of putting it, but he defined his "stigma" by his own actions.

Good man! A heartfelt thanks Nate! I really don't need to be reading that kind of crap here

Same, though my mac at home may be 1280x1024. Last post button... oh. Just a question though... what is the usefulness of an attachments icon and a deleted posts icon?
