sorry to dredge up this thread. I still haven't found a good solution. I'm leaning towards something that can contain all the album art / sleeves, etc. and is more in the "filing cabinet" style, like the first picture I posted. Any other suggestions?

Perhaps there was some misinformation, but I had assumed it was going to be in Vegas... I figure that might be difficult without local support

might want to hope for that in two years

shouldn't that be 4 against, 1 for it or did your vote not count?

time to fire Skype up!

I see what you're doing there... Let me try: If you don't feel like having them make the cross country trip, they can take a bit of a breather in Austin for a while

maybe it's related the the ABSURDLY low bias voltage you're feeding them

so, this is probably a stupid idea..... But, what about a tripod and a camera? ... I can think of a number of arrangements that might work to set it up, but some target that you place the document, something to hold the camera, and a little remote control for the camera are the basic ingredients. ... then you don't have to connect to a computer and "acquire" and all that, just put the item down, turn on the camera and since it's already pointed at the right location, just press the button on the remote.... once you run out of room on the memory card, just copy it to your computer.

Seems that there are some new discount coupons at Newark, I'm not sure how many of you regularly use these. This is one of the better ones I've seen. Coupon code is WR0509 and it's valid online for 25% off.

well, they had the 1" ones at least. I'll try those and see how they fit tonite. I'm glad I checked this place out, pretty cool little store.

yeah, amazingly enough I haven't hit any of the local stores here in Austin... Just found one that's on my way to where I need to drop off some aluminum to get cut, so that's perfect.

does anyone happen to have any #6-32 x 7/8" or #6-32 x 1" socket heat screws? Preferably alloy or black oxide. I'm going to try Lowe's tomorrow, but I'm not quite sure if they carry this sort of thing or not... I need 8.

If you go down this route, let's talk.

damping factor is 80. Here's a pic of the 1 ohm performance from NP:

bought some too...

1 ohm soft clips at +- 10A

I think the Seas Excel W15CY001 would be a good thing to compare with the 15W. Which did you get, the 8530K00?

oooh I want in. What are we buying?

Looky looky, K1000 impedance graph:

The bolts that secure the output devices is right at 61C.

not too bad. I can hold indefinitely one of the fins that is right over one of the output devices. I'll track down my thermocouple. I'm probably going to leave it this way, because A.) Steve is planning for this to primarily power the K1000 (I have no idea what the impedance of these things drops down to, but it cannot be too low) and B.) those trim pots are impossible to get to, so I have the heat sink tipped up on it's side, which hinders convection and I'll probably need to readjust later anyways. The variac came in very handy. I was able to adjust the output of the unregulated CRC supply to the nominal +-24V, which wouldn't have been possible otherwise since I'm only running a single channel at the moment.

well, Steve I got one channel up and simmering now. Probably have 1-2 hour wait until I'm happy with the bias. I'm right at 1.3A on this side and will probably push it a bit more. I have a 1 ohm test load waiting and willing to make this thing sweat, plus this is the only way Spritzer's ears will perk up

bolts from McMaster-Carr and an open-box variac from Fry's.

no, there are much easier ways. Like have children. I can get all sorts of liquids past TSA.
