Speaker Cable
I'm with naaman on this one, especially since Vincent said that unshielded XLRs had been a problem in the past as well. Someone correct me if I'm wrong buy I think line level signals are much more prone to noise and that's why you hardly ever see shielded speaker cable. Vincent, if you need some shielded RCA's I've got a spare pair kicking around I could send your way.

Only if applied in a non-ventilated space. Honestly, I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to paint it unless I decide to temporarily heat one side of the garage so the paint can cure. I'm not really upset with the way it looks right now, I just wished I'd taken a bit more care during fabrication so that I could have just left it as it sits with no concerns.

I'm pretty sure some shade of hammered gray. I like the black on gray motif that the trafos create and while I was originally thinking of painting it black I think I'll go for the contrast this time.

I'm just excited that it's now less than 2 months to the premier of Dollhouse.

FIFY Semi Finished Overall Upskirt Overall Ground Central Shielded Input Wiring The "No Electrolytics Zone" Still need to wire up the pot but that can wait. Also, need to figure out if I'm just going to set it and forget it on the recommended output setting (cathode feedback, ultralinear mode) or if I want the hassle of switched settings for both. That too can wait until next year.

Graduation Day - The Tubelab Simple SE project begins...
I had a profoundly crappy day at work and as such when I got home it seemed ill-advised to work on a project for someone else that could end up being thrown and relative high speed into a wall. So, with those qualifications the Simple was about the only thing heavy enough to prevent hurling. I set about wiring it up in simple triode mode which took about 2hrs. About 10 minutes ago I flicked the switch and it's still here, I'm still here, and Joanna Newsome sounds pretty outstanding. Pics tomorrow, although they're pretty boring unless you like internal wiring shots.

Pics or ban, you have 24hrs. Some of us need inspiration, although one would have figured that hearing the SimpleSE make music for the first time 5 minutes ago would have covered that.

I'm sorry to laugh at your pain but your stories are quite entertaining.

Greg is going to get tired holding his hand up. Nate still has to design a chassis for them and is undecided about 1 or 2 chassis design and when he's undecided he's tends to waffle back and forth. See balanced beta22 project which is coming up on its one year anniversary.

Haj, Some day I'll get the Headroom Icepower amps built and I'm sure a loaner program can be arranged.

What did you do today?
Need a technical adviser? Technically I don't know squat about records or recording but when has that ever stopped anyone? Also, I was once part owner of "Kick in the Pants Productions" and "Stageline Security", maybe that qualifies as experience?

Leaving potrable hifi - it's too silly
I can't IP ban, but where Jolida had been just given a week's vacation he/she/it and this latest french invasion have been offered a more permanent solution. So I would argue the classic and basic error was trying to create a new user account.

We're due for 6 to 12" of the stuff tomorrow night on top of the 3" we got yesterday not to mention the lingering ice and resultant damage. Cue Mike asking when I'm moving to Florida...
