Group Build: Dynafet
In my opinion CamExpert would be the place to use for this. Having an individual hand machine the chassis seems insane to me when their are automated systems to handle stuff like this. Not to mention the advantages of the software, engraving, etc. And I don't think any of the SumR trafos I've gotten have had any mechanical hum. I've got another one on the way now so I'll check that but I also have one downstairs that I'll try and fire up tomorrow to check (it's a fully potted and shielded unit). Plitron is not without its faults as well, I seem to remember having a conversation with a manufacturer about them and learning that under full load they tend to sag and consequently you have to guess and overspec them to get the desired output. I can't help but feel like they have some good marketing people who've gotten them a good rep and now feel free to charge a premium for their goods.

The new Grado lineup
Holy hell, is that really them? If so I can't imagine how much they're going to weigh.

Is Building a Power Cable Similar to Building an Interconnect
The best I could come up with is this. Mike Holt) But I doubt that in the case of a power cord you would be deal with the same type of force or wire described in that article. It is interesting and I wonder if PVC would really be any more resistant to a pressure point failure?

Neko Case - Middle Cyclone (03/03/2009)
Yup, me too. I'm just about done with a 24hr forced hiatus and then I'm going to fire it up again. Between this and the new BFL album it's been a pretty repetitious week, and that's been great. I have it on good authority that Rain Man Records will be doing a needle drop of this as soon as they get their hands on the vinyl. But from what I'm seeing it isn't due to ship till 3/10 (according to Amazon).

Was too. Rig space is getting compressed. Two box, 50lb tube amp is causing grief. Been mulling this over for 2 months now, haven't been able to bring myself to post the add, yet. If it finds a new home, I'll find a way to do a one-box version that is slightly tweaked.

Just got this form Hi-Fi 2000, figured it might interest builders.

What cable are you using on your 650's?
The other thing of note with NMF is that it does not expand nearly as much as techflex. That said, I'll still take it over techflex any day of the week. Gary, shoot me a PM if you need some, I have 3 or 4 sizes I think.

Well my offer to stuff boards is certainly still on the table, just let me know if it's needed.

Neko Case - Middle Cyclone (03/03/2009)
I've gone twice through already and while neither was true critical listen I was very pleased with what I heard. It is quite a bit different than Fox Confessor but in my opinion it is in a good way. It's definitely more accessible and I hope it's commercially viable enough that she gets to make many more.

I will freely admit that I am not up for chassis work, even if FPE panels are provided. There's still a lot left to do not to mention the liability of the whole thing (purely from a time standpoint). Sorry if that negates my usefulness.
