luvdunhill Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 I actually prefer front mount for the back panels. Makes it easier to see where you are trying to stick things when looking from above. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Beefy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 ....... I was thinking more for cabling, but yes, I suppose it works for 'that' as well......
Dreadhead Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Belkin Conserve Surge protector. Finally a way to easily turn a power bar on/off with a remote, and the remote slick to boot.
luvdunhill Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 It's called "Balanced" but there's not an xlr to be seen. except for the two.
luvdunhill Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Caught me, yup. I missed em how did you do that! ok, i'm scared
ecclesand Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Bought some Mundorf ZN caps for my DAC. Now the wait for them to arrive. Rolling caps is my latest addiction. That is all.
cetoole Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Just roll to a dac without (coupling) caps.
kpeezy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Amphion Helium2s. Just got them yesterday and I'm looking for ~3 inch stands for the desktop.
Voltron Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 That link just picked my pocket but good. The Highland Park 40yr is only $1,999 at a local shop. They don't have the 21yr, the bastards. Oh, and I just bought a bottle of the Thos. Handy Sazerac Rye. Very happy.

screaming oranges Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I actually prefer front mount for the back panels. Makes it easier to see where you are trying to stick things when looking from above. I like the look that front mounting provides (in this case, at least). The squares add a nice framing element. The only improvement that could be made would be to disguise the screwdriver slot, and this only because it bothers me that they are not all at the same angle, but that's just nitpicking, really.
Beefy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 and this only because it bothers me that they are not all at the same angle, but that's just nitpicking, really. I actually took the photo before they were properly tightened, so everything is now all lined up. Obsessive compulsive for the win! But I managed to snap the head off the Toslink module...... it is going to be fun drilling a steel screw out of the plastic housing
oogabooga Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 A Pico DAC, which I'll promptly use to piss away a day this weekend to compare to the Parasound 1500.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 53rd and 6th halalYou bought a restaurant?
mypasswordis Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 A pricey investment, but I think it'll pay for itself at least a couple times over the course of its lifetime. Prospects look good and the numbers all add up, so I would've done the same.
n_maher Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Panels arrived today, and all my measurements were good. I'm abso-freaking-lutely thrilled with how they turned out! http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/2676/panelsl.jpg Great panels! If I may make a suggestion, even if you line up all of the screws I still think flat blade screws detract from the overall greatness. If it were me I'd drop $5 at McMaster Carr and get a box of part #92210A108. You could order another box in black for use with the IEC and I'd just about guarantee that you'll end up using them on other projects too. Edited December 17, 2009 by n_maher
Beefy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks for the suggestion I do need to get hold of some longer M4 socket cap screws to attach the rear panel, so a McMaster Carr order might be on the cards...... [EDIT] Aww nuts, the black ones only come in 6-32 and larger [EDIT 2] But I can get black ones in alloy rather than stainless. YAY!

[EDIT] Aww nuts, the black ones only come in 6-32 and larger [EDIT 2] But I can get black ones in alloy rather than stainless. YAY! Fastener Express has them in black oxide stainless down to 1-72 thread, as well as metric. Bolt Depot is another place I look, but they don't carry black oxide (that I found).
n_maher Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I've had mixed luck with the black oxide (non-stainless) coating and rust after very short intervals. I'm giving stainless a shot, hoping it'll do what it says and stain less.
