You might have a diyaudio addiction problem when you get pulled aside at TSA security checkpoint and the agent asks "Why do you have all these capacitors in your carryon?"

Edit: Literally happened to me today :spin:
 
Lol. It's a real thing.
I was carrying a couple of gainclone channels, power supply board, all built point-to-point on dbl sided project boards, and a toroid in my bag once. I asked at check in if it would be a problem and they suggested I go see the nearby TSA desk. They thanked me and assured me that there would have been deeper scrutiny at security had I not checked with em.
 
M2x IPS6 is a good choice, builders seem to LOVE its sonics. I sent a pair of IPS6 boards and also a pair of IPS7 boards to a member in Denver, he installed the IPS6 boards and 24 hours later declared: I'm done. These are the boards for me, I'm done, the search is over. And he never installed IPS7, ever ever ever. IPS6 was the final answer for him.
