Funny, exactly those I ordered, and even from the same seller...

They look sexy, a bit pricey for 4 tho, Should be worth it i hope. How many did you order ?

 

[Thror]

I went for four.. Will probably order more if I'm happy with them.

They make two silver cmc sockets, one silver plated copper, call the super Cu/Ag, and a silver plated brass.

Sorry Thor, but the bottom cover of your "galaxy maggiorato" enclosure is mounted the other way round. Slots are supposed to stay near the back panel.

It has multiple connections that have various voltages. The one I am using ranges from 16-20. I'm assuming it is using 20 volts

I got lucky and they had them on WOOT earlier this week for that price. Normally they range from $119 - $150 not including shipping.

Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM) carries all kinds of different things at a discount some are new some are refurbished. The product changes to a new one at midnight. Sometimes they repeat products. Not sure if they ship outside U.S.

So with a full charge, the battery pack lasted about 8 days. Took 3 hours to fully charge again.

Here's a silly question ...

Can it charge while playing, like a laptop battery?

Yes it can, it has a led bar on it to show the current charge level so when it gets down to one bar I can plug the charger in and continue to play music as it charges.

Cool.. May have to look into one of these... (And I guess I should have googled first... sorry... )

Hi guys

I am hoping you can help me

I want to use a Alps pot with my B1 build but I am not sure what to hook up to CCW W CW?

is it:

CCW = ground
CW = input
W = output

-joe

 

[AndrewT]

turn your pot fully anticlockwise.
Measure across the terminals and find the pair that read near zero. That is the output.
turn the pot halfway round it's travel and find the pair that read the nominal resistance of the pot. That is the input.
One of each of these pair is common to both in & out. That is the Signal Ground.
