Could you post the resistor values for the groups that are near the tubes? I'm specifically talking about the ones that are oriented vertically in pairs near each output tube. (Like R6, R7, R8 and R9) I'm really interested to see how hot those might be getting if he's running the current at Menace levels. Love the off-board mounted pot, led and headphone jack too. And, uh, I'd have to check but I don't think that external PS is up to running the 6528s like Mikhail claims it should be. Unless of course the Hammond trafo is rated to run 25% over its rated capacity.

Next time I'll PM you, I honestly thought you had to have seen it when you mentioned you were looking for one. I mean the odds were just outrageous... Sorry Vincent.

Go to the hardware store and ask them if they carry things like "easy-outs" or other similar products. It'll involve a small diameter drill bit and a reverse threaded stud/bit. You should be able to get just about any, non grade 8 bolt out with something like this without harming the surrounding threads. Well, if you're careful anyway.

I think putting them here would be just fine. If they spawn some kind of large scale discussion we can always split off that conversation.

I think, but don't hold me to this, that the external PS is the filament supply.

Now that's funny.

I'd wager that what we see in Steve's headphone stands represent the lowest common denominator in terms of his woodworking skills. And the stands are phenomenal.

Well here you are then. I would suggest that you adopt a new philosophy about posting and, well, think before you post here. Much of the attitude that you display at Head-Fi simply won't fly and will be met with a bit different flavor of reply than you're used to. And while we're being open and honest if you'd like to request to be labeled as a MOT simply provide a company name and we'll take care of it. I understand you're now in the cable making business.

Woot! -=she=- gets her own thread, really quite talented indeed!

Nate's sake is fine, do whatever you need to stay sane. Cables are easy and adjusting the gain on that beta won't break me either.

Lies.

Oh dear...

Stay safe Steve - and anyone else in the area for that matter.

I tried to help and steer you towards Tkam's, did you miss that one?

I think the general problem with it is the ~$3k price tag coupled with such steller specifications as: Humm Level : Not measurable

Working for the F-I-L sounds dangerous.

I think as far as cold is concerned once you're north of NYC it isn't going to matter all that much. CT is just about as cold as southern NH although you might get less snow but more ice/freezing rain BS.

I think only Justin can answer this unless there's a detailed internal picture that you can point me to.

Despite its reputation I don't think Nashua is all that nice (although I'm sure some parts are) but the surrounding parts of southern NH are very livable. The good/bad thing about southern NH is that you're within easy commuting distance of much of Mass so job opportunities are probably as plentiful as you'll find anywhere these days. The bad part is that your close to Mass so you have to deal with mass-folk (sorry salty). That said, you're young, I'd make a break for it and maybe give Texas a shot. Although Alex might not appreciate the local competition.

That might actually help.

Or me. I have a pretty piss pour history with all things digital (knocks on wood) especially from Salty.

Right now it's just an issue of time, really. Lily hasn't been sleeping all that well which has severely limited the amount of time I have for projects at night. As it is I'm running well behind on a couple of builds, make that 4 builds. Adding to that backlog is unappealing and not something I'd expect someone else to want to put up with either.

I think you get around 5 minutes to edit a post, otherwise it's permanent. About the SE outputs, I wouldn't much worry about absolute phase. There's nothing to say that other components in your change aren't already inverting it without your knowledge.
