Pics or... well, I won't ban you but I'll harass you and potentially release the hounds.

I've had perfectly good luck with reasonable, non-NOS 5AR4s. But you do have to be aware that with some of the new production stuff that you do run a risk. JJ had a whole batch of bad 5AR4s that when arcy/sparky if run anywhere near their limits.

Sounds good to me, although I not sure I'm ready to offer casework skills since I don't want one. But I could always just send the assembled pcbs to someone else.

Naaman, Agreed 100% on the machined panels idea. I was really happy with the service that I got from Cam Expert and it's really a no-brainer if you can supply the material and only have to pay for the fab work.

Sweet cart Al, looking forward to some time-corrected Rain Man productions with it.

If I might be so bold, those unwilling or unable to build should be prepared to offset the costs for the builders. The parts count doesn't look that high per board (less than 100). Frack it. n_maher - 4 - 0

What's the parts count per board? And it's one thing to populate a few boards, it's another thing entirely to build an amp soup to nuts. Even with a fully machined chassis it's no small feat with an amp of this complexity.

What did that set you back?

Happy Birthday!

Well, I was not successful at dodging whatever this is. I've been feeling more and more like poo all day (thankfully Lily is feeling better) and the wife has only gotten out of bed once.

Heh indeed. Wife started to get ill this afternoon and is officially sick now. Looks like I'm flying solo tonight with two sick ladies.

Don't forget the lead weights for mass dampening.

Yeah, it's been a rough 3 nights leading up to this but at various points this weekend she'd seem to improve for a bit and then go downhill at night so Maura took her to the Doc today to get the bad news. Here's to hoping she lets me sleep a bit tonight, the whole house needs it.

Cmoy Monoblocks?

Amoxicillin and nebulzier treatments for Lily who's sporting a dual ear infection and a pretty awful sounding chest cold.

Someone in NYC needs to have a go at these: STAX ELS F8 rare electrostatic speakers - eBay (item 150324182082 end time Feb-06-09 17:58:00 PST)

Two scope probes and a BNC patch cable. The test equipment stash grows.

Wish I could help/join in but there's no way I can take on another project right now.

Pics or ban?

As if "God is good" Ben will be any better?

Have to say, of the non-local interest Superbowls this one's appeal is pretty low for me.

Gene, What's the LOD need to be like? Short, long, use in a home or portable rig? I think that the 1st and 2nd Gen touches can use the same LODs and if so I probably have a couple options for you.

Yo, Jay! Happy Birthday!
