How does one introduce colouration into equipment?
And if you really want to have some color, add a tone stack.- Mighty Mik

Solder?
Yep. I need some really thin for surface mount, and for metal to metal, like making battery packs,i have a bottle of flux. No rule says you only have to have one iron either. I have a temperature controlled iron for PCB, and a 40 watt for point to point. Quote: Originally posted by...- Mighty Mik

Morgan Jones Performance
The one is smaller because it uses a wall wart. They are both essentially the same, just 2 ways to build it. the 'smaller' is the revised circuit, and the changes havn't made it to the Bender page yet.- Mighty Mik

Solder?
That's why i recommend 63/37. a pound of solder last a LONG time for most people, therefor it is a worthwile investment. You'll see when you get some you'll never miss that 'mushyness'. Quote: Originally posted by CaptBubba PPR, I use the same techniques you describe, but I always...- Mighty Mik

Solder?
Has to do with the way the 'terminals' at the end of the componants are attached. I think they are nickel. If you don't use silver, you run the risk (especially on cheap caps) of having the ends come off. Quote: Originally posted by Joobu Why would one use 2% silver for surface...- Mighty Mik

Solder?
define 'average' solder. You should be using 63/37. IF you are going to be using surface mount, then you should be using 2% silver. NO 60/40!! BTW you can use different widths of solder as well.- Mighty Mik

What an Idiot
proxy bidding...you can input a max price you will pay for something, and if someone else comes up with a bid and it's not enough, they have to put in another bid.- Mighty Mik

Build Morgan Jones or buy MG Head?
The design is going thru a revision, and i still need a drill press and a unibit before i start building. However, if anything, you'll have less power problems than I will, the 6N1P heaters eat 600mA EACH. The Hammond 269AX should have plenty of oomph.- Mighty Mik

Earmax & RF problems
I'll second the power supply as a possible source...i'd try a choke as close to the unit as possible.- Mighty Mik

Earmax & RF problems
Where in the world are you? I havn't noticed any extrordanary conditions (flux is declining ) , but if you happen to be in europe, it tends to be an RF rich enviroment there. Make notes...is it the same station, at the same time every day? Different stations? frequency?- Mighty Mik

Earmax & RF problems
Anything connected to an input is antenna. I'll bet you're using unshielded wire somewhere. Grounding is important as well. One of your leads may be just the right length (1/4 wave) for an antenna. If you listen to it carefully, maybe you can get a callsign and frequency. Quote...- Mighty Mik

Build Morgan Jones or buy MG Head?
I'm building a MJ soon, but i won't be using super mojo parts in it. I am looking for some off-the-shelf low ESR caps. My tubes are on the way. I'm building the 6N1P version.- Mighty Mik

Team Cheap Sennheiser!
I have a pair of HD 490 -II s ...how were they as headphones? (besides the cord) Quote: Originally posted by Eagle_Driver Oh, Head-Fiers, don't confuse the HD-2#2 and HD-4#7 series with the older HD-400, HD-470 and HD-490 Senns; those latter three Senns belong to Team POS Sennheiser...- Mighty Mik

Is this a tube amp or a Bugatti engine?
Sweet then...when my bot gets ahold of it, pretty pieces flying everywhere! It even cost as much as a bot. Quote: Originally posted by dhwilkin If I didn't know better, I'd say it's exactly the design a Head-fier would submit for a Battlebot.- Mighty Mik

Would an AMP be worth it?
You might want to build one anyway. For the $30 in parts, you'll find few kits that are cheaper (of any kind), and it will give you experiance. Plus you have all these experts to help you if you have any problems.- Mighty Mik
