good/cheap heat press for DIY toner-transfer pcb's?
Quote: I have had good luck with using paper from free junk mail catalogs, especially the super thin and glossy paper like the kind used in Bed Bath & Beyond catalogs. Of course YMMV. I just cut a sheet out and tape it onto a regular sheet of printer paper before printing.- zammykoo

Yep, I would say the majority of Harbor Freight's inventory is bottom-of-the-barrel quality. I normally grab tools/supplies there when a project needs disposable tools. And thanks Brian for starting this resources thread.- zammykoo

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO THOUGHTS
I have had my dt770/80 for a few weeks now and I love them. The bass is at its max potential with an amp, I get pretty good low frequencies from my E9 but I don't listen to enough jazz/classical to answer your question though. Comfort is really good because of such large ear cups, there is...- zammykoo

alright i've wired it up and gave it a voltage test.... i'm in a bit of a pickle because where the ~12V is, it reads 26.6V. And where 48V is, it reads 98.8V! I'll check again for shorts... hopefully I haven't fried anything- zammykoo

Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!
Hey guys I'm looking for a good amp for the t50rp that I got recently. I've seen recommendations for amps around the $300 range but I will have to save up for it. I will be building a starving student hybrid and an O2 amp soon, so I don't think I can shell out too much yet. Are there any...- zammykoo
