Yeah, Apple's mag connector is patented and from what I've read Xpal and others haven't found a way to license it and have been trying for 3+ years. It sucks since I know I'll be traveling over the Christmas holidays this year and one would come in really handy.

If it could charge a Mac laptop I'd get one, but I suspect there's no tip for that.

Nope, they're "In Stock". The Buffalo DAC

If there's enough folks in the US to get over 25 sockets it may still be worth it to group buy through PCX and again, I'm willing to help with this if people are interested.

Buff32 kit w/ power supplies = $529 Two trafos = $42 Parts total = $571 No case, limited input capability, no accessories (connectors, switches, blah). I agree, pretty impossible to imagine a completed build coming in much under ~$800 for just parts. My guess is that the EE product won't have anywhere near the power supply or output stage complexity that the TP kit does.

I think he read your post in an incredibly sarcastic voice.

Well, based on Kevin's quote we'd pay no more than $3 per socket more through PCX and really if anyone bitches about $24 ($3 x 8 sockets) on a project likely to cost in the thousands to build I'm likely to someone.

Be a hell of a lot easier to get them from Parts Connexion, wouldn't it? PCX Image CMC Image CONNEX Socket 8-pin, Octal (KT88, 6550, EL34, etc.) CONNEX Socket 9-pin, (12AX7, 12AU7, 12AT7, 6DJ8, etc.) Look like the same thing to me and while PCX's price is a bit higher I'll contact them about quantity discounts over the 25+ discount they list on their site. How many of each are required for each amp?

Seems like there should be a decimal point there somewhere, I could imagine it being $126.00. What sockets are these Kevin (PM if you like)?

Happy Birthday Marc!

I can check with one contact that I have if it'd help. The same guy quoted ~$250 for 2 gang P&Gs. Be aware that I don't think P&G makes pots higher than 10k (15k on special order occasionally) so that may be a factor.

Kevin, If the group is small like I'm expecting it will be I might be able to manage the GB.

No smell to the W5000s that I owned but the sound made me wrinkle my nose.

Since the OP proved once again that he's a jackass and got himself banned here I'm going to go ahead and close this thread.

All this inappropriate bumping of the Top Gear thread is killing me. I keep thinking the show is back on, bastards. I do approve of the Lotus though.

x53 Doug, just make sure you still feel ok tomorrow. Not all injuries are instantly noticeable.

You've been known to drive further for headphones, I'd have thought booze was a more powerful motivator? P.s. It's a tick over 18 miles to two of them.
