You should stop posting, like now.

I'm not sure the Oppo would see the Mini as an external drive in the same way it sees a USB flash drive, actually I'm pretty convinced that it wouldn't.

That sucks man, can you call a cab, walk to the end of the street and go do some grocery shopping? Otherwise I'd seriously consider calling the police and asking for the street to be cleared. WTF would happen if there was a fire or other emergency on the street? Are they going to park up the street and watch someone's house burn?

Don't you know bulbs don't matter? They all measure the same.

Meanwhile in NH I could practically mow my lawn.

If cheap is a must have you thought about using a headlamp? You could get a decent one for around half your budget and nothing is going to pack up as easy as that. Otherwise, something like this which clamps to the edge of the table is exactly what I've used for the last 3 years. Hard to imagine you'd find better for $19 shipped and there are a bunch listed with no bids.

Yay you.

That was a lot of fun to watch.

Jebus, I still need to send you those feet, eh?

Woke up and cooked breakfast for my Maura, Lily and my parents (who came down to visit). Just met up with Todd/skullguise to do a little gear exchange and now it's time for Super Bowl prep.

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

I'm somewhat friendly with Brian, the owner of TPA, I'll drop him an email and see if he'd be willing to do anything for us as a small group. Maybe I can get the fab files for the boards and get a small run done, I'd like one as well.

Yes I can confirm that H and G are as shown on the data sheet.

I think Take 5 Audio in Canada has the Vampire stuff, at least last time I looked. Otherwise I'd go with Neotech too, no need ot go any bigger than 20ha in my world. I swear I've sent something like this to Hong Kong before... Back to the IEC - Marc, I'm not assuming anything, you have to use external jumpers to connect G and H to something and logically it looks like B and F are how they intended it to be (from the schematic). But perhaps that's where my fail starts regarding this? One more thing, if you look at the third page of the data sheet you get a back panel view of where all the connections are and how they layout.

Yes, there are 6 connectors (A-F) as seen on the 1st page of the data sheet in the Voltage Selector portion of the diagram. Two of those have to be used to make the connection to the line voltage and the way I see it that would be B and F. Confusingly they label the internal switched positions a-e as well but Beefy is correctly understanding how those are working, I verified that with my DMM the other night.

I need some additional help as well. I ended up getting several of the FN-372-6 modules and for the life of me I can't figure out how to wire one with a dual primary trafo so that it supports 120/240. I've poured over the data sheet and I get what the wheel is doing and what is connected at the various positions but it just doesn't seem like there are enough connections to make it work. The first person to explain it well enough so that this idiot with both a dual primary trafo and also something like a Hammond 300 series universal primary trafo will get a couple freebies in the mail.

It is a glorious train, I continue to be amazed by just how good the 12L's are.

Oh snap! I didn't even see that....

Don't tempt me to start randomly deleting your posts.

I'd say the odds are good and also welcome to my digital hell. It's a NE thing. What's the problem with the Aragon (allegedly)?

If you get stuck and want confirmation of your testers readings I can test the 5998s for you and see if my results match or at least parallel yours.

When you say the 5998s test "low" on the 6AS7 settings do you mean they test bad or just lower than 6AS7s? And honestly, I'm not sure how much difference that slight an adjustment on the sensitivity dial on your 747 will make and in which direction. Also, if you want the full tube setup file that I plucked that info from just let me know. It's a pretty small file and I could email it to you.
