Have you thought about posting on AMB's forum???

I use "Wonder Solder" that I got from Michael Percy Audio - works well.  I think the percentages are a secret :)  - a wee bit cheaper than Cardas.

Avro-Arrow -   A question for you...   What is the OpAmp in the schematic in Post #36???   Thanks,

What tomb says is quite true...  it's definitely easier than it sounds to replace the tube LEDs.    Personally, I like the 'color change' LEDs that are on the beezar site.  But, I'll admit they might not be everybody's cup of tea.  

Odd indeed.  I'd like to hear a plausible explanation too.

check the schematic... that pin is probably not used if it fell off that easily...  (Something similar happened to me on a Mini^3.)

I, for one, would like to see a picture, or diagram, of exactly how the GrubDAC connects to the Carrie.

Ferrari - Beautiful... Do those stacked BUF634 buffers really help enough to justify the added cost??? I'd like to see a photo of the bottom of the setup. I'm curious how the Sikorels connect (and the other stuff too). Thanks for sharing - your work is inspirational to a noobie like...

count me in for two sets of panels.

A quick question about the BOM (the newest)... Are the Mouser and DigiKey parts equal or should the DigiKey parts be preferred??? Thanks,

You can try HakkoUSA. I have ordered tips from them - got great service - sorry I can't remember how much the shipping cost - but it was NOT outrageous. Welcome to HakkoUSA. Soldering, Desoldering, Hot Air Rework, BGA, and Fume Extraction Systems for the electronics industry

Per-Anders - It is VERY generous of you to make this offer. Thanks,

Best advice I can give... triple check your orders to DigiKey, Mouser and the like. else you'll get stuff you don't need and will likely never need... and thus you will have to go through the hassle of returning it. And, hold on to your wallet

Very nice. Just a question ... Why did you choose to tombstone the resistors when you have all that space available??? Please don't consider this as an attack... I'm thinking about doing some design on my own and I'm just curious about design alternatives. Thanks,

ABI = Anything But iPod - MP3 Player Reviews & News Great site. I guess I should add the usual disclaimer. I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in that site - just a happy and frequent visitor.

I would like 2 of the prod boards.

If you're fortunate enough to have a Harbor Freight Tools store nearby they almost always have "Third Hand-type" devices on sale for under 5 bucks - usually way under dRummie - I love Make mag and their associated web site.

Great idea, I'm in for $10.

The "crazy" (crazy in quotes ) thing about tantalums is that the "+" leg is marked not the "-" leg of polarized electrolytics. Leads to dummies like me putting them in backwards. Luckily, very luckily, I've never had one blow. YET

The look incredibly interesting - and the website linked makes it sound like fun... so interesting that I may get brave enough to try it on a couple of things I'd like to make. Thanks for sharing it!!!

A lot of the PSU designs on diyAudio forum use SL60-type Thermistors for in-rush current limiting. Browse around over there and I'm sure you'll find lots of info. Look at the PassLabs area. MODS, if it's verboten to post advice to look at other 'brand' forums please excuse the infraction and...

Question for johnwmclean: - what kind of case did you use for the "Jaycar" amp??? and, do you know if it's available in USA??? Oh, by the way, very nice work.

I love this forum - someone on it can find practically anything for anyone.

What are turrets???
