Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Everybody here has a JH13 now. I don't. [sNL-Scully]I remain...skeptical...[/sNL-Scully]
cetoole Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 ...am...mesmerized...by...Simone...must...have... Yeah, me too. Available here if you didnt know. Actually have a vinyl release of both of those discs I ordered too, but no point for me.
Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 (ponders vinyl release in anticipation of future vinyl setup) (has a stray thought of Simone in black PVC) (is lost)
Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Goddamnit. (2x 2xvinyl + CD+T+signed pic packages -- total 3 items) I am weak for the redheaded female. EDIT: Was about to, but the vinyl is temporarily sold out, will finish the transaction, see if there's a waiting list for more or whut. Edited October 6, 2009 by Dusty Chalk
cetoole Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 You have good taste, my man. Bummer about the vinyl though. I actually almost went for it too.
Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Buying it from Nuclear Blast, I guess. It's limited edition, so I'm not taking a chance that they've already sold out of their entire allotment. Plus, it fucking rocks. link
cetoole Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 I was under the impression that Nuclear Blast and CMDistro were basically the same thing. I assume that you have heard Resign to Surrender as well, good stuff.
luvdunhill Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Mundorf RXF Capacitors These are the cutest little caps. I was looking for a 1.5uF cap >600V rated cap and for some reason this must be a non standard value, as there weren't that many choices. Anyways, looks to be stacked film construction. Nice for the price ($8 not including the the PcX discount of the month). I also got a pair of the 10uF/600V caps which were $13 (not including discount). A 10uF/200V Wima sells for $13 at Mouser.

Nice for the price I just got a set of Mundorf 20uF/750VDC M-tube Caps, they are rectangular in shape and I can't stop laughing at them
luvdunhill Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 I just got a set of Mundorf 20uF/750VDC M-tube Caps, they are rectangular in shape and I can't stop laughing at them yup, I like those caps as well I'm not sure how I'm going to mount these RXF in my case, as it's a P2P PSU. Now that they are so much smaller than I figured they would be, I'm thinking I could put them on a chunk of PCB and be done with it. The supply is a RCLC supply and I wired it up last night and the result was exactly what PSUD2 predicted. Scary huh. Looks like I have 20mVAC ripply under load. The supply is 10 ohm -> 1.5uF -> 48H -> 20uF. I was thinking I could split up the last 20uF into 10uF -> R -> 10uF, but might not mess with it, as I'd probably have to up the first cap so I'd have some voltage to drop over this last resistor... I'm probably overthinking things, as it's going into a regulator anyways

Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 I was under the impression that Nuclear Blast and CMDistro were basically the same thing. I assume that you have heard Resign to Surrender as well, good stuff.I don't think so. One can actually purchase the vinyl via Nuclear Blast. Also, I got a response from CMDistro -- they didn't put it up, because they haven't received their shipment yet, and with the "limited" status, they don't want to put it up until they actually have it in their hands. I went ahead and purchased the signed/CD/T/photo set. Will keep an eye on CMDistro, will put off the Nuclear Blast purchase for a little bit. Might email them to see if they can provide the same info (how many they have allocated/sold etc.). And no, I haven't, thanks. Didn't learn about this album until you posted about it.
Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Wait, so now I'm confused: there's the CD, the digipak, the vinyl, the CD/Tee/autographed picture thingy, but then there's also the "mailorder edition" boxset? WTH? Oh, and I was going to order the vinyl from Nuclear Blast Europe, not Nuclear Blast USA, the latter of whose pages do indeed just tell you to go over to CMDistro.com. Oh well, I emailed Nuclear Blast Europe, hopefully they will be getting up soon and answering my questions soon.

Hopstretch Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Many travel that trail of tears, Dusty. Only the Opp-oh adherents are more to be despised.
postjack Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 mr. chalk, would love to hear your impressions of the Oppo's hi-rez performance.
Dusty Chalk Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 mr. chalk, would love to hear your impressions of the Oppo's hi-rez performance.Ranked A+ as a transport in Stereophile's last list, so yeah -- I'm kind of curious myself.
swt61 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Congrats Dusty, you'll love it! I still need to pick up an SACD to play on mine.
