Hey guys, now with the weather warming up maybe we should plan for another meet/bbq/etc?
We've discovered that some of us also share an interest in nice knives, so maybe we'll bring some steel out to share.

Question for everybody: does anyone have one of these power monitor plug-in devices?

I bought a 2.1 dc barrel plug splitter so I can use the same ifi power supply for clean power to two devices that run on 12v. based on my own math the psu should have enough amperage to provide sufficient current to both devices without maxing out, but I would really like to test it to make sure I am not over taxing it and wearing it out prematurely. So far both devices do seem to run just fine sharing the psu but I would like to gather some data and make sure this is OK as a long-term solution.

I've never used one of those, but if you were willing to do a bit of chopping you could simply stick a multimeter inline with the wires and measure the amperage directly.

@Takaji Hey wow, long time no see man! When will you be back?
And wow, is that a lemo connector for the changeable plugs? too bad you don't have an XLR4 connector

If you want, I can try asking on some of my other forums to see if people are interested.

@Armaegis it would be great if you could share this around. :)

I'm home in the last week of June, not for long at all unfortunately. I need to take some time to go through my other audio gear and sell some stuff! I think I have a DAC still in a box or something...

Maybe we can get together for something near the end of this month while Takaji is still in town?

Hey guys, last minute notice but I'm hosting a bbq/bonfire at my place in Fort Richmond tonight (Friday). If you're interested, send me a text. I probably won't check this board later.

Let us know if you have any free time, it'd be nice to meet and catch up, even if it's just grabbing a pizza or something and not a mini-meet.

I actually do have one of these, I'll have to look around and find it though lol. I can bring it to the next meet
