Sounds about right. My last pricing info from them is a year old now and probably not current.

Once you move out of the Hammond-type chassis you'll probably find that prices escalate quickly. Example: Lansing Graybox 8.37" (1/2 rack) x 6" x 3.47" (2RU) - part number B2H06-001A - will run you $68 each. You also might see if you can get a quote from someone like Context Engineering for one of their modular cases. I haven't done that for a long time so I can't even remember if it was reasonable or not. Cases are the curse of every diy'er.

Elephas, You might seriously consider working with someone state side who could verify that the amps are working for you before having them shipped all the way to you.

I'm very happy with the Buffalo Link Station that I bought recently. I greatly prefer the flexibility of a NAS device compared to a simple external drive.

My thought is for folks buying old 1st gen phones from people who upgraded. If they get stuck with a more expensive monthly plan they're really getting hosed.

Question: are the plans still cheaper for first gen phones? I'm guessing that there's just one "plan" and that now both first and second gen phones cost more per month.

Thread title updated appropriately.

I wouldn't bother, personally. With the cover on you're safe, you just need to be very careful if you ever have the amp plugged in with the cover off since those terminals are before the switch and "always on".

A lot of heat shrink and multifilament.

I just like giving Jack a hard time, I still haven't made up my mind w/ regards to flats on my woodied HF-1s.

Ti is talking about the connections at the IEC inlet. The ends of the wires are exposed, therefore there is live voltage present there that if you touched and were grounded, would definitely feel. A better way to do it would have been like this (the left-hand side of the photo): I cheesed out on the hot connection and just used shrink, but that was because there simply wasn't enough room to use a connector. Ti is saying that at a minimum all of Mikhails connection should use shrink like that and I agree with him.

FIFY

Yeah, me too. Probably going to order a set shortly.

Kinda strikes me like winning a stinkiest turd contest. You won, sure, but it's still poop.

Bought a few 7N7s last night.

If you find my impressions for CanJam I stated my preference. Honestly at this point I can't remember, but I think it was the 11. And yeah, before dropping $1000+ on a set of headphones that instantly become worthless to anyone else I'd say you should demo them even if it means waiting. That'd be a painful mistake.

Would you still say that if it was 23 miles each way?

Heh, krrm, my bike has a motor.

There is an element of that picture that screams, "which of these things belongs together? Come on can you tell which one? Can you tell which thing is doing its own thing?" Hint: there are two jabbas...

PC, which should have 10x the processing power needed. But it's laggy, locks up and generally runs like complete poo so far.

One more thing: am I the only one finding that iTunes 7.7 runs like complete ass. I swear it's twice as slow as it used to be.

Last night, while the little one was sleeping I spent an hour cleaning and prepping the bike for riding today. I turned two white-t-shirt rags black with dirt, gunk, etc. Today: rode to work for the first time in a damn long time. It was glorious.

Hmm, iTunes tries to force the 2.0 upgrade on you before offering the 1.15.
