Kevin, Weren't you building a couple/three of these (Dynafet) ala Blowtorch (solid alu chassis, etc.)? How are those coming along?

Where did the KGSS PCBs come from? And IIRC, did I also see BH PCBs? I don't ever remember seeing a group buy or anything for these on HF?

JenaLabs (that is a crock... Labs, like they really do any research) has been ripping people off for years with some of the most insanely good deals on virgin nymph-woven fairy dusted cabling. I can't believe they would risk further damage to their reputation over $1000 which judging from the pricing on most of their products is mice nuts. And the thing with morph??? WTF? He has to work for them or some other connection to them. Shill?

Marc, Sorry, just placed an order around noon today. Did you just order? Digikey will add stuff on if you catch it soon enough. Chris

Thanks for the link. You're joking on the cryoing, right? (not up on my thermal shit, but 0.0001 C/W doesn't sound like its worth it...).

Are these still available? I could maybe use some if so. They are stick on?

Could you maybe put a bunch of these things in so users could ya know, like tune the sound like ya know, helmolz rosinators or some such shit like that? That'd rawk

Kinda kicking myself for missing this one...

Me either... oh wait, I've never written any reviews

No, it looks good.

A pair of vice-grips.... industrial

Artist: Secret Machines Album: 10 Silver Drops Song: can't recall Lyric: Just because I'm wrong doesn't mean you're right...

Check out PartsPipe on fleabay... he could probably get something to you fast enough and save the hi-dollar knob for something else...

You have a drillpress, right? How about a drillpress vise, like one of those cheapies from Harbor Freight or whatever? I had to drill a couple out, and it was quite easy. Just wrap them in a rag or something and fasten them down as best you can, level if possible is good...

if he is, those might explain why the one CD I have sounds the way it does...

Fixed that for ya Who was it that did the parody on this, with the lyrics "I am woman, hear me bitch buy my records, make me rich"

x2 on the diary, although I want to hear about drill bits that fucking work and cut a clean, correctly sized hole! Preferably in the right spot... As for your insulator, how about some high-temp RTV sealer (gasket compound)? Auto parts store... maybe even in black...

Yeah, I wasn't sure how bifurcated hole saws vs. steel (I assume the amp case is also?) was going to fare. I know they are fine for most aluminum, but steel... Good luck on the last two holes. But look at the bright side... unlike an SS amp, here you get the casing mostly done up front

Good... good... oh wait, you can't read this anymore, can you?

There is also the issue of the mantra that higher voltage film caps sound better... this could be why you will see 600V or higher rated caps for coupling when far lower ratings would be safe. My Counterpoint pre has 200V wondercaps for coupling stock, but that designer is known to underspec at times also, so I'm not sure if that tells me anything

Am I glad I don't know that song... same thing happened to me with some of the crap '70s songs a bit earlier

You need to adopt me so I can just wander around seeing what's just "laying around" to use for builds... Between wandering around at your place and KGs... Looks good so far!

Yay Reks! I just hope you like it after ermmm, recommending it to you.

Could be, its been a few years since I read it. He was arguing against driver break-in though IIRC. Seems like it was Tom Noussaine, but its been awhile (he is/was a columnist in the Sensible Sound I think). And I'm not saying I buy it either; just throwing it out there

People always toss out driver burn-in (or break-in) as a given, but there was a guy on the newsgroups (rec.audio.?) that said he had done mucho testing on loudspeakers and that after being played, the speaker went back pretty much to the state it was in before being played, or at least alot closer than you would think. You would think that sooner or later, the coefficient of elasticity, etc. would be permanently changed. Dunno, just thought I would toss that out there.
