Haha, Meredith don't let this guy go to HK or any other places that is strongly related to electronic... , if you two are going to Asia. If not your honey moon will become his bussiness trip haha. J/king ! You two shall visit the places/city which "The King" used to go to and will have a great deal of time sight seeing over there. For shopping or food, plz go to either HK or Shang Hai. I think south east asia is more for relaxing experence. (The beautiful islands and the beaches with blue sea that you can actrually see the bottom.) China also have some places that is geologically great in sight seeing. They have the really different looking mountains from the whole world, and the rivers ! That's what we Chinese called "ɽˮ" Mountains and water(river/lake/sea).

hehe Yeah i heard stories of the cheap electronics available in HK and Japan. Don't worry I'll keep him on track, that is if he ever saves up a enough money to take me. I have really wanted to go to China for a long time. My dad, while working for GE, went there in the early 80s when the country first opened up for outside investment. He really enjoyed visiting, and brought back alot of pictures.

I got my kit from Brian yesterday. Decided today to actually attempt to build at least one channel. Went out to round up miscellaneous wire and parts (had to go to 2 Radio Shacks, they have nothing anymore!) and left HomeDepot (had to get tap to attach chip to old Athlon heatsink) at 4pm.

I had music by 6pm!

This kit is the best! We all owe Brian a ton of thanks for making this so easy.

Thanks again Brian!

Since this actually worked for me, I'm going to throw together the other channel and do some real listening. I used a spare NHT SB2 that I didn't use yet for the living room "home theater" system. It sounds great by itself. Soon I will try both channels on my B&W Nautilus 805s.

David strikes first!

...that looks like a Victoria Magnetics toroid...

P2 heatsinks were pretty big, weren't they?!

Yep, a Victoria Magnetics 2x14 150VA that I had for a project that I never started.

I think I paid $60 for that copper cored Alpha heatsink back when I thought I was cool for overclocking CPUs. Then I realized for what I was paying for special parts to get them to run semi-stable at a higher speed, I could just buy the faster CPU. YMMV.
