Awesome. Did you tap the V+ and V- power rails for the epsilon 12 from the DC input directly or from the amp boards?

It's a 16x12x3. I didn't like the look of the terraced board arrangement in a 12x12, so I opted for a bigger case which also comes with extra ventilation holes on the top panel. I finished the second board but I stopped because I'm a little daunted by the input wiring. I really want to apply...

Some progress with better lighting:       Didn't realize it takes so long to solder one amp board! I hope to get another one set up tonight to test out dual mono unbalanced.

Well looks like something is in the works....  

Indeed it has :) I've been out of the head-fi scene and into the photography scene :P   Quote:

That doesn't change anything. He's talking about getting a 24mm lens on APS-C, which has the equivalent angle of view as a 35mm on FF. 35mm on FF is still a wide angle, just not uuuuuuuuuuultra wide.

Quote: Yes it is. 35mm is still a wide angle on FF.   Then again I like my FF + 85mm as a walkaround.

Quote: It's VERY great on the cropped sensor, espescially if you like the telephoto perspective compression. Sharpness, colors, and contrast are all superb.

135L, IMO.

What would you be using the 135 or 200 for?

Yeah, I would just be careful with it though...I wouldn't feel comfortable having my sensor exposed directly to the sun too often or for an extended period of time. Better the sensor than your retina, but still ;)

Quote: Use live view.

New toys came in!!

Well I'm finally selling my T1i and looking to upgrade. It's coming down to the 7D vs. 1D mark III for action photography. Leaning toward the 1D mark III....even though I'm not a pro, holding it definitely makes you feel like one

My advice to you is to first figure out what types of photography you will be shooting. Portraits? Landscapes? Indoor sports/performances? Outdoor sports and action? Wildlife? Macro? etc. Then, read up on all the lenses that would be best suited to what you want to do. Remember, when you are...

Avid weightlifter here...mostly for bodybuilding but there is a certain rush from lifting heavy weights I'm at 5'10" 165 lb. Repping range for bench press, squat, and deadlift are all around 205-225 lb. I'm focusing on getting the squats and deadlifts up much higher.
