Cleaning it properly and giving it a coat with zapon lacquer will keep it looking nice
Wow, your computer consumes 750W!
Bitcoin mining?
A word of caution with the Stax jacks though - I managed to chip off a piece of the plastic insulating material off one of them, because I pulled the headphone cord down, and it put stress on the connector and broke off a piece. I don't think it will affect it at all, and I will bond it back. But just so you are aware, those connectors are quite fragile.
They are black jacks.
I recall reading in this thread that Justin no longer uses Stax jacks, as they are not available?
I didn't apply a lot of force- I got up from my couch (the amp is above and behind me), and as I did so, the Stax cord got pulled down, and this put downward pressure on the jack.
Just want to be clear that it was entirely my fault. Just letting you know to be careful with the Stax jacks on your new BHSE.
I have now designed a 'strain relief' for the headphone cord, so that it will not put and undue force on the jack.
