Do you ask this question a lot? That might explain the recent lack of GFs.

You can use the "Singlepower method", which is to solder a paper clip across the void.

Your death will be sinister.

Yes. The truth is that once it became clear exactly what Mikhail was and wasn't, I found it quite easy to write him off. I also expected the worst though. Even though it was working, I wanted somebody knowledgeable to look at my Extreme. The results of that did not surprise me. Then I decided I had better check the very expensive tube he sold me. Oops, not surprised again. It could have been worse. I do have the attenuator and BGs that I paid too much for. Lots of people didn't get their overpriced enhancements. Now there's nothing left that he could have cheated me on. Mostly I just wanted to warn people that Mikhail had issues with things other than his amps.

I like BMWs, but not enough to pay for them. However, the boss insists on owning BMWs so I get her castoffs. The current castoff is a 2000 323i. At least I was smart enough to get the Sports Package when we ordered it.

What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW? With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.

I just discovered my latest Mikhail "gotcha". At his last public appearance, the June 2008 NorCal meet, I bought a NOS 6385 tube from Mikhail for what turned out to be about 50% more than the going price at the time. Later I wrote that off as more bad dealings with Mikhail. Today, I stuck it on the Jackson 648A tube tester I recently bought. Both sections test at ~30%. So he got me twice, once for the exorbitant price and once for a bad tube at that price. I'm posting this to warn you to test all tubes that you might have bought from Mikhail. There is a good chance that some/many of them are bad. The good news is that now that my Extreme has been made reliable (and better sounding) and finding out about this tube, I've worked through all possible things that can go wrong with Mikhail. I'll never buy another thing from him so it's now a great day and I can move on to better things.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Have you considered a Lootin' Audio modified D7000? It's better than everything.

You might as well keep it, Vicky. Even after it is "certified" to be safe, the value of SP products has fallen through the floor. This is not surprising. So it's unlikely that you could sell it for anything near what it's really worth. I'm going to keep mine until it dies. Then I'll look for something new (or used) to replace it.

All of this is good advice. There is a good chance the kitten has worms or other illnesses. Take him to a vet for a checkup. Most cats choose their owners and it looks like this one has chosen you. Keep him inside (outside cats have a much shorter lifespan that indoor cats), take good care of him, give him lots of love and you will be rewarded with a loving, entertaining companion. P.S. You've greatly increased your karma points, don't toss them away.

Hey, I ordered one first. I can't help it if all of you sheep had to do the same thing. Maybe we should buy one and ship it to ipodpj for review. After he states that it's the best DMM in existence, we'll all know we got good shit.

No more Heartbreak Hotel, eh Elvis? Congrats.

Steve is totally unfamiliar with slit shaped ports.

Oops, didn't read down far enough. I assumed it came without leads. Eventually I'll want clip-on leads so we'll see if they are included.

Thanks for your suggestions. I bought the VC99 on Ebay that Marc suggested. I'll let you know how it works out. or Now I just need to find some leads for it. Google hear I come.

Thanks. I'm sure one or more of these would work fine. Please tell me what features I need. My work contract is ending and I'll have some time for DIY play time. Here's a minimum of what I need: 1. Changeable leads 2. Volt meter 3. Amp meter 4. Ohm meter 5. Continuity tester. Considering I hope to eventually progress to doing tube amps, please suggest other features that I might need. I'd like to keep the cost under $100 for meter and leads, but I'm kind of like Vicky.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've decided that I need a better DMM that the little battery powered unit that I keep on my motorcycle. Fitz's line above describes exactly what I'd like, a basic meter with good leads. Would knowledgeable people please recommend such a DMM? Thanks.

I imagine that the eastern Mass version brings up Kimball's.
