I caught my futon on fire with a soldering iron once. Once.
Oh yeah, and I melted a hole in my monitor bezel with one, too.

If I were to build 100 amps, it would take me 100 years!
...wish I had the funds to grab #0, would be sweet.
I hope we don't get an embarrassing low bid... it better go for more
than MSRP. This amp isn't a blue light special!

Just for the record, the rest of my family has all their crap on the
kitchen table, and there is no room for me, so I build them on
a big table in my shop.
While doing this I have a constant stream of music, consisting
of what some refer to as "Modern Adult Alternative", but which
I like to call "Lounge". It sets a pleasant tone for work, not
too distracting, but otherwise entertaining. If you want a list
of my favorite compilations, I'll post one.

A list of your favourite compilations would indeed be appreciated. One of my favourites in the Lounge, funky-background genre is Kruder & Dorfmeister, The K&D Sessions. I also favour a certain Tosca cd, the title of which I can't remember, and another cd, the artist and title of which I can't remember. I'm sure there are more titles and artists I can't remember that I can't quite remember now.

OK , I am interested

The K&D sessions is a good one. I listen to a wide variety of music while building. It depends on what I am doing exactly. If I do heavy duty metalwork Rammstein works good, but if I am soldering 0805 components Norah Jones is better 😉
"Only one-hundred of the F1 will be built and all on Nelson Pass' kitchen table by Nelson."
And since the first one is ser. #0, the last one will be ser. #99, for those who are counting. 😕
Just thought I'd nip the inevitable future confusion in the bud...

Actually, I intend to build #100 also, since I gave away #0
I'll post my lounge list this evening. 😎

Preferred Text Passage
This is my favourite text passage in the manual:
"OK, You’ve been warned. This is a special experimental and/or
developmental product that does not belong in the hands of an ordinary consumer. If you incur damage by ignoring this advice, just remember that you’re dealing with Nevada corporations with no assets and no insurance."
😀 😀 😀
So the last possibility for the poor injured customer is to show up at Nelson's Kitchen table....
Cheers, Tino

Come on guys, get your bids in. The auction is currently still considerably below MSRP. This is your chance to own a piece of audio history.

Well, since I know Goldfrapp and Moorcheeba there will be a lot of other stuff to discover 🙂
going back to the speaker projects , I just can't figure out how to find the Dacron Hollofil Fiber for stuffing the 2 MLTL enclosures , for the JX92 and the FE206E drivers.
Lot of google search but can't find a resource online...

Does somebody have a link or suggestion?
Well guys, 2 1/2 days left of the First Watt auction. A little birdie just told me that if a diyAudio member (who was registered yesterday or earlier) wins the auction and the price exceeds USD3000, it will be made more than worth their while.
