At 15' it might exceed the cost of the 501s.

Just figured I'd throw out what I remembered on the off chance it was useful. Sounds like it isn't an issue.

Wouldn't the 220V taps be rated for less current since typically the secondaries are rated for the same current regardless of input voltage? I guess what I'm getting at is that if you have a 12V/1A secondary the primaries would be 120V/.1A and 220V/0.05A, or something like that, right? I might have this all wrong, if so, please feel free to tell me. I feel like an atheist preaching about God right now.

It's an untested, unfinished design so I'd rather not float it out there for public consumption. I'll host it somewhere and shoot you a PM.

I've heard of it being done before and I seem to remember something about paying careful attention to the amount of current that you try and output. But this is all a very fuzzy memory of a conversation long forgotten.

Ok, my experience is that it's more right than wrong and fine for just about any internet based argument. What do you expect, original documented research? It's your favorite whipping boy, I get it.

FYI - there's one on head-fi for $620 shipped.

Well of course I can, but this makes two in less than a month. Saturate much?

They get to sell moar pads that way?

I love how the guy takes the value of 2 of the 50 or so components and calls it the total... epic:palm:

You must read some pretty factually accurate comics, Dan. It's not always right, but it's not always wrong either. You just like to rail against it.

I can't believe Ray is building yet another portable amp. Otherwise, looks like it was a great meet and there was plenty of fun to be had.

Wife needs new gym phones, thanks!

In my experience the midlevel upgrade from apple isn't that bad a deal. Pushing the upgrades to the extreme did seem like a bad deal.

Ahhhh, you're probably right.

Maybe there was more than one?

You could end up like the reviewer who threw it away with the Sunday Times.

I'll be watching Chuck later, but finally watched Fringe last night. I'm really liking that show.

I'm lusting after a Macbook Pro. Right now I wish I could sell both my laptops and just get a single MBP but I'd take a beating on both so it's going to have to be 5 years or so before I get to realize that dream. I don't get the Air really, sure it's light but the battery life isn't great and the lack of an optical drive is a real turnoff. Maybe if they improve it in the next generation I'll like it more but for now I'd pass.

Pics or ban DOTU! Seriously though, how did the shortened tails work out?

You have just taken the first step towards joining the NAG audio collective, congratulations.

No worries, you're point about the $10k/mo threshold was news to me. Nugget Audio is safely not tax fraud.

No, what I'm saying is that he's way better off selling them as a private individual as compared to offering them through the business. That way he doesn't have to declare the sale as either income or profit for the business.
