I'm now confused! Is it Tx end caps or complete potting covers you want?

Whatever, if they are hammond, deal direct with the company. They will take one off small orders from individuals not in the trade and will handle your questions/order over the phone.

I think you need to talk to the actual Tx manufacturer as they will stock covers which match the Tx's they sell. I've been here before myself and got no joy unless I could ID the Tx maker who were in my case helpful. I'm not sure there is any standard Tx frame sizes so therefore no standard cover si...

Hi Colin,

Nice job. Out of interest, why have you completely covered five sides of the enclosure with felt? Is that not a bit excessive? Maybe Scott could comment.

Personally I think free anti-virus always ends up being a very false economy. It tends to be clunky/querky and not smooth in operation and there is no assurance of reliability or comprehensive protection. That statement is not true. Not true at all. OK, fair enough seeing as you've researched this....

Hi Ali,

You've had a very bad year. Sorry to hear about it and my sympathies regarding the loss of your brother. I hope things get better for both your Dad and your Girlfiend and 2010 is a good year for all of you.

Best wishes,

Greg

Hmmm, I quibbled with the management. Apparently every mod wanted me banned except Marco :shock: That was nice don't you think particularly as I was challenging him at the time.

I left anyway and nothing lost.

Hi Mike, In seriousness, some people have explored burn in devices along the lines you suggest. I've never tried it being happy to wait for the sound revelation in whatever is the latest build. It does take patience. Not everyone has that but in my experience, well worth the wait when it comes to fi...

Get to know Blackgates. They sound ok'ish initially then go completely off song and thereafter need at least 50 hours to start sounding right and probably around 200 hours to be close to proper on song performance.

Hi Phil, Just going back to Battery bias, several years ago, Tony Moore and I experimented with NiMH in this application because size wise it made alot of sense. However, like Mike, we didn't like the effect on sound. We got a sharp glassy edged sound which we couldn't live with. Regardless of bulk ...

Hmm, great renditions especially from the Frogg, but actually (and I've thought this often) Dolly Parton (easily dismissed because of her wigs, tits and apparent shallow image on talk shows) has an absolutely magnificent voice with just the right amount of gravel in her voice coupled with tunefulnes...
