  1. Agreed, but Amazon cannot be happy unless they're a silent partner.
  2. My guess is that they will speak to this in just a few minutes.
  3. Yes, but with the caveat of having a ton more horsepower.
  4. Yeah, they'll still sell 10mil of them in the first year. 1/2" 1.5lbs 9.7" IPS display? multi-touch (shocker) 1Ghz Apple processor - all in one 16/32/64GB Flash Storage 10hrs battery life (one month standby) Wifi N Bluetooth Will run all existing iPhone apps either blackboxed or pixel doubled
  5. Ok, like 10min in and he's offered zero specifics about the device. No mention of display size, storage, etc. WTF?
  6. And away we go...
  7. Is this the Apple tablet? (update: new image) -- Engadget
  8. Stephen beat me to it. This is going to be hilariously stalkerrific.
  9. I ordered some of the ones that you linked (too cheap not to) and some of #3 that I listed above from Digikey. I'm sure one of them will work for the particular project I have going right now and the others will get used at some.
  10. He'd look a pretty giant fraud if none of that turns out to be true.
  11. Congrats Haj! I professional development.[/sarcasm]
  12. Thanks, I ordered a few and I'll let you know how it goes.

  14. Yes, absolutely. The guy who started CE used to work at FPE. All I've ever sent them are FPE files. I know you're kidding, but I'd rather my fabricator direct their efforts elsewhere.

  16. Got link? Digikey has some of both series but they do get spendy quickly.
  17. Thanks, I'll take a look at those and see what I can find and I've had good luck with their products as well.
  18. I completely agree that the actual action of changing the voltage should be difficult (not something that could be bumped) but on the flip side I want it to be easily understood so the user doesn't struggle trying to figure out if they're doing it correctly. I'm also torn on the idea of the selector being tied to the fuse drawer. I also understand your point about having that switch on the back side for safety, it wouldn't bother me to have it back there even if I used another front panel switch to take care of powering the amp.
  19. Your CD player is not exactly "average" in its abilities.
  20. I don't know if this will be a good topic or not but what the heck, I'll shitcan it later if necessary. Basically, the idea is to post if you're having trouble sourcing a particular part. Not one you forgot to order, but something new that perhaps you haven't used before and you'd like input on. Example (and the reason I started this thread): I'm looking for an IEC module that contains a voltage selector switch. So far I've found 4 that I like, which I've listed below. #1: Digi-Key - 603-1149-ND (Manufacturer - 10SB3S) Pros: simple all in one, filter could be a plus Cons: voltage selection is not user friendly, don't need the built in power switch #2: Digi-Key - 603-1144-ND (Manufacturer - 06AK5) Pros: much better voltage selector Cons: i hate snap in modules #3: Digi-Key - CCM1375-ND (Manufacturer - PE0SSS000) Pros: good mount, good voltage selector Cons: don't need the switch #4: Digi-Key - 486-1090-ND (Manufacturer - 4301.0001) Potentially perfect, just not entirely sure how the voltage selector works. I read the data sheet and probably need to do so again. Anyone have any bright ideas other than me sitting down with the Digikey catalog for a few hours?
  21. I enjoyed the heck out of it the first time but didn't get around to it last night. I'm falling way behind on TV, and I don't watch that much. What I need to find out is if the revised/new Pilot is any different.
  22. Fail
  23. My plan is similar and if I didn't already own a dac, cdp and preamp i'd give the CDP-2 serious thought. One thing that I do worry about is the quality of the variable outputs, my prior experience with variable outputs on CDPs has been less than stellar. I had a very nice Yamaha player that had a remote variable output (cost ~$500 back in 1998, yikes) and the fixed output was clearly better. I'm also not a huge fan of being required to use the remote to do simple things like adjust volume or switch sources. In my case everything will be within arm's reach.
  24. I'd highly recommend anyone shopping FPE's services to also contact Cam-Expert to see who can offer the lowest price. CE has typically been both cheaper and quicker for me on the East coast, I know left-coasters make up the difference in shipping a lot of the time.
