yes. R2 drops about a quarter of a volt, so around 4.7/0.25 per board.. 50mA with headroom.

while no pics yet, I finished up my first Senn cable using the new Cardas connectors. It is an 8 conductor cable, with 3 different gauges of wire. I was wondering, do you use the larger pin on the connector for ground, or signal?

I'd be interested, if it was encapsulated / shielded. Digipete, you want to take the lead on this one?

^^^ I don't think so... anyways, I suppose no one really sees where I'm coming from, as there aren't many "amen brother!"'s out there. I suppose I'd run a business a bit different from him, that's all...

yeah, what if I could sell something for $1,000,000 that cost me $1? Artful pricing, or con artist?

mods: can we move this to the DIY forum and retitle the thread? I did some research on the transformer today, and here are some options: - Plitron transformer (part number #017017201) 30VAC @ 0.5A 30VA qty 1 = $64.21 US + $23.46 US shipping ($87.67 US each) qty 5 = $304.35 US + $33.89 US shipping ($67.78 US each) - Ebay R-Core transformer (R80-35 0-28-35 X2(1A)、0-5 (3A).0-12 X2(2A)) 100W R-Core Transformer 110V//240V ,Pre amplifier / DAC - eBay (item 250259952059 end time Jul-16-08 01:25:05 PDT) qty 1 = $83.00 US shipped - Avel Y236107 qty 1 = $22.47 + $11.39 shipping ($33.86 each) qty 5 = $21.35 + $13.55 shipping ($24.06 each)

really? so if I sold an amp for $100,000 that cost me $2,000 to make, you don't think this implies anything about the purveyor of such an establishment?

one more thing... I will be offering a basic part kit. If you're interested and I haven't already contacted you, then *you* contact me

where da fan boyz?

boards have been ordered. On the subject of parts, since there's a relatively low number of boards (8 stereo sets) and I'm such a great guy, I'd consider tracking down (some if not all) the parts for people if there's interest. My strategy at this point is to wait on the boards to see if slightly larger parts will fit in a few locations, and then wait until the end of the month when parts connexion announces their next monthly sale. If it's resistors, then that would be a score... and less of a score if capacitors, but anyways. In the meantime I'll get the boards and order the rest of the parts from Digikey. If you're interested in this, then I'll charge you for the Digikey parts once I place the order and then a separate payment for the partsConnexion order. now we wait.... cheers!

if I cared, I'd find someone with a broken ES-1 and offer to fix it. Then I'd go up to work and use an audio analyzer and look for oscillations that I suspect to occur with Stax that may or may not occur with the Senn stats. But, I don't care.

last call for the 2 people who haven't paid. You have until midnight tonite (7/13/08 12:00 central) to pay, otherwise there's not much I can do. Sorry about that.

I believe the DAC is underneath... It's a single TDA1543 with passive I/V. Transformers are power trannys.

I suck

dude every 'lytic in that thing is a Black Gate.

hmm.. those 2 blue caps are ROE MKP1830, out of production now what happened to the 2 big blackgates? was there some sort of damping material there?

hand-wound cotton is of course a superior weave.

yup! here's some extra credit: what's the optional 9v battery input for? hint: it's not documented in the manual either. edit: I guess it's on the schematic... oh well...

oh and... stop reading the T-Shirt threads and please pay for your boards. Thanks to the 3 people that already have

why hasn't anyone thought of just adding more motors? has to be moar better right? probably all those motor ration cards...

finally, we are getting somewhere. To answer your question, a T-shirt (or tee shirt) is a shirt, usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and short sleeves, that is pulled on over the head and covers most of a person's torso. The sleeves of the T-shirt extend at least slightly over the shoulder but not completely over the elbow (in short-sleeve version). A shirt that is either longer or shorter than this ceases to be a T-shirt.

yeah, I guess they are DC motors... anyways, sure looks pretty...

sure they are motors and not flywheels?

3 motors == fail... are they serious about that?

close, but no cigar well, lemme qualify that... if it's like the Xono, then note where the words "jumper" appear on the silk ... it'll be easy to adjust the loading.
