If I understand an integrator correctly, and opamps, the opamp is always trying to make its inputs equal. Since the offset is presented on the neg input of the opamp, it will be correcting in the opposite direction to the offset. When I do offset measurements on one of these amps, I've never seen the servo try to go the wrong way... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday Stretch!

There are so many things wrong with what is in that pic... what a fucked up build! Angle bracket appears to be shorting the green resistor to the fight for starters. Attention to detail is a prerequisite for building this kind of equipment.

Cool! What did you use for the splitter? Curious as to why you went with the Focals instead of something like Mr. Speakers Aeons? Those seem more interesting to me personally...

Some of the tube pins look a bit devoid of solder. Looks like some flux there as well, probably clean it good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting this Dusty! I took a look and liked it... I've liked Danny Elfman/Boingo but hadn't really ever listened to anything other than Dead Man's Party and Insanity. Damn tight band! I also found and liked this clip of a shorter concert (MTV?).

Not sure which version is for TKD... better confirm with Kerry though looking at the Gerbers would be easy to tell also. TKD = 3 pins per row; Alpha is 4 per row. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think the board will fit an Alps RK27 pot. Alpha or TKD 4CP-601. Not sure which the 1.5 board is set up for... because of the pinout of the Alpha, it is difficult to impossible to do both in the same space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could see where filter/anti-aliasing caps could make subtle differences in sound. I can also see where Vishay can fuck up a wet dream as well... talk about a clusterfuck of a company, buying up all sorts of formerly great companies and raping/pillaging them Not a big wire believer, so the copper->silver/gold thing is kind of nebulous to me.

Late post/comment. Once again, really digging the casework. I hadn't asked in the carbon thread (IIRC), but how is the lettering done. It doesn't look like engraved/infilled? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or something like MG Corona Dope might help?

Sometimes you can use normal crimpers/needle nose pliers plus soldering on them, but yes, agreed on the $300+ prices one can see on specialty crimp tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You might take a look at something like the TE Dynamics line, which appear to be rated @600V. You would need 5.08mm pitch to fit the board(s)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats CJ! And am I the only one here who thinks that MBAs are overrated? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

RIP Jerry and Dick. I actually saw Dick Gregory back in the late '60s IIRC in Iowa.

Sorry for your loss Kerry, and all of the above. Losing a parent or in-law parent is tough. And Jacob, just saw this about the job today. Sorry, you can only control what you can control... I would agree that is sounds like they already had a decision and were going thru the motions in interviewing others. Hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Started watching this as well, very good and agree with above! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, if it is already 8 speed, it should be 130mm rear spacing. A set of 8 speed brifters, some cable stops and cables/housing and you would be set. Other that its still Shitmano

The guy on BF got back to me and said I can have the downtube mount, just needs an address. You want to pm me your address and I'll just have him ship them to you. He's leaving tomorrow for the Dairyland Dare, so wouldn't be until next week sometime before he could ship this. As for converting this to more modern indexed using brifters/ergos, you would need to replace the rear wheel, rear derailleur, and the shift/brake levers. Maybe the chain rings or crankset as well. You would need 130mm rear spacing which isn't done easily on an aluminum frame like a Cannondale. Not like steel, which you can cold set. It is only 2mm per side, assuming yours is set up for 6-7 speed (126mm). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PM'd the guy, will let you know the outcome. Also, another thread on bikeforums. Some shop in CA had them at one time (2011). Also some discussion of the NOVA kit. http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/742734-cannondale-black-lightning-help-i-m-lost.html
