A Dared MP-5 knockoff, called the HCT HMS 100. For $100 shipped it seemed like something that might be fun to mod and mess around with. And it'll also be able to power some speakers for the soldering rig.

I'm waiting for the HCT HMS 100 knockoff myself.

I don't think it can get any cheaper than what I just paid. ;D

And actually, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that HCT is the original man'f and the rest just buy it from them. There's at least 4 or 5 products that all use this amp and resell it under another name.

Guy listed it very poorly on Head-Fi, just called it "100 dollar tube amp". ???

I never quite get how people can be so bad about advertising their stuff for sale, I mean do you not want it to sell? Take 5 minutes, take a decent picture and write a complete description for cripes sake. I'll never forget when someone wrote me a PM asking how I sell stuff so fast, hello, I build so it doesn't look like shit and the rest is pretty much common sense. :mikey2:

I plan to have a little fun with it but doubt it'll stick around all that long.

Ditto. What is up with that? I keep seeing these piss-poor advertisements on Audiogon and Head-Fi. Even with obscure gear. Do they expect us to be interested and do the research when all we see is a single punctuation-less sentence in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? "BUYER PAYS SHIPPING AND PAYPAL FEES NO TIRE KICKERS OR LOWBALLERS." No pictures.

I agree. A few pictures, a little politeness, and a thorough description go a long way towards a quicker sale. Sellers have to make their potential buyers feel confident about the purchase.

I would love to do some kind of FS workshop at the international meet. I'd do it like a Zig Ziglar inspirational sales seminar. :)

I wish something like that was mandatory for posters on head-fi and craigslist. There are times when I'm not sure what they're even selling. If I weren't both lazy and poor, I'd go to your seminar.

So are you finally going to answer the Sade question?

Yup, one way or another.... :D

Except tonight is my 15th anniversary, and the wife and I just got back from a nice restaurant and we are both sloshed,

that wine was strong...

won't be doing too much critical listening tonight ;)

That's even better.

What size? For a 4-ch beta?

Decided to cheap out, eh? :)

It's for a one-box 2-channel beta I'm building for someone around these parts.

I don't think Par really qualifies as cheaping out as long as you use what they provide wisely. My first beta looked pretty decent and that was a Par chassis. ;) But no, my beta won't be finding its way into a PM chassis, that's almost guaranteed.
