Woo Audio 22
Unless I am completely misunderstanding the circuit that this is at least loosely based around (and granted, that is possible) I would think that this would make a less than ideal preamp. I don't quite get the impedance switch either and am curious to ask a few questions this weekend.

You have no idea... I'm going to try and talk with Jack about it, I have no idea how they're feeding two 6080s with a single 5U4 rectifier unless they're running at really low current levels on the output tubes. Because the development cycle was done now?

You know, I read that for the first time today and can't think of a time when I've had that problem with mine. I don't shoot a lot but metering has never been an issue. User error, now that's a different story.

Did you read the welcome PM? If not, I suggest doing it again before you hit the reply button. If you did, read it again. And welcome.

Todd, I'd look around and see if you can't find a good deal on a leftover D80. A quick google suggested it might be possible to pickup the body for ~$500 which would leave you almost enough to get the 18-200VR lens. That's what I shoot with 99% of the time. I just checked, Adorama still has D80s NIB and offers a few kits that might be appealing.

Official NYC Annual Spring Meet Saturday, March 21st
So who's going to make it this weekend? I'll be rolling with Ian and another non-headcaser along with ~150lbs of gear.

I like it, enough to already be listening to it again. The whole album is one long story allegedly and has a pretty cool guest appearance. And YGPM.

ZDT is announced with pics
Doesn't Neutrik make the jacks (maybe not the 4-pin) with the locks removed?

I wish that he'd a) remove the locking mechanism from the 4-pin jack, it's 100% unnecessary and detracts form the look of the amp and while he's at it rear mount the 4-pin jack, it would clean up and otherwise very aesthetically pleasing design. 2 pretty minor quibbles, hope to hear one some day.

Ipod Touch / Iphone
From what I've read you have to at least have purchased the development pack ($99) in order to activate the beta.

Ipod Touch / Iphone
Fair enough, I did exactly ZERO research since I don't own an Iphone and am keeping the Touch legal. I was merely pointing out that there are certainly copies floating around out there.

Tube amp suggestions for AKG K1000
I'd bet the SimpleSE would make a fine K1k amp, but shipping would probably be prohibitive to you. Otherwise I'd try to commission someone to build Pete Millett's K1K amp. Not entirely sure it could be done on your budget, but I'd look into it if I were you. Otherwise the commercial offerings are numerous.

Battlestar Galactica
I've been struggling with the last episodes, I'm 2 weeks behind right now with almost no motivation to see it through to the end. Odd, I know, but I feel they've taken the show to a place where they just can't close it out in a fashion that will leave me anything other than disappointed. And that makes me sad.

Nice indeed. I designed some metal cups similar to your first ones a year or so ago but decided they were cost prohibitive and I prefer turning wood myself. Good to see I'm not the only crazy person. Dinny, I bet they sound heavy. That's a lot more material than Grado uses on their cups.

This can be fixed with a PM if you're interested in a preview.
