Balanced beta appears to be on hold pending another amp that will, in fact, fuck itself together.
And as usual, I've been doing plenty of work lately, just not on my own gear. :|
Those particular jacks use a spring loaded ground connection and when installed look and work just like any other plug. Kind of hard to explain but if you ever use one you'll see what I'm talking about.

kick 'em in the face, taste the body;
shallow work is the work that I do. "
I actually think that we've got a good moderator/member ratio here. It's fairly often that I log in and I'm the only mod here and I'm sure the others share that experience. And it's pretty clear to me that we've got enough asshats that warrant watching.
Got 5" yesterday and it's snowing again now. In between those storms I managed to make a run down to the cape to celebrate new years with some of my college cronies and their families. All someone had to say was 80deg heated indoor pool and I was there.
I could care less about the topic of that thread, I agreed completely that it should be locked purely on the basis that it was absolutely fucking worthless and had no comedic value. Worthless and funny is ok by me, worthless and stupid = asshat and that's the one and only rule right?
Inbound traffic (to the US) rarely seems to have problems, going the other way is another story all together. As others have said, you shouldn't get hit with anything and I'd also recommend using the USPS even though it'll probably appear to cost more than UPS/FedEx.
Thanks guys, time to do a bit of research based on those links. And I've already got a Bugle, hopefully I'll be posting pictures today as I finally figured out how I want to mount it.
So I've been listening off and on to my Thorens TD160 and so far I've got to say that I'm pretty unimpressed. Now, I know full well that I've probably got a crap cart on there and that it's not setup right but before investing in at least a Mid-Fi cart (you can expect a thread on that one too) I figured it'd be a good idea to at least get what I've got setup right. I'm not averse to spending a little money on this project but if someone tells me that I need hundreds of dollars of kit to setup my $200 vinyl rig that'll be the end of it.
So what's the sane way of going about this?
