How often does one water a davissound plant anyway
I think you'd have to ask Voxvendor that one.
lol. Just kidding, Vox.
NWSoundman is performing the actual surgery. I'm just an organ donor. The Bellari was shipped to him late last week, but it went clear across the country, so I'm sure it will arrive at his doorstep sometime next week. As for the parts,
I got a hold of the burr-brown opamps for free, somehow.
Called Texas instruments and told them I needed a couple of burr-browns for a preamp. She (customer service lady) asked me how many units I expected to produce in the next year. Like she thought I was mass-producing these things. I said: "Oh, several hundred thousand, easily."
So she tells me that she'll send over two free samples for me to use.
The very next day I get an overnight package from Texas. This is too funny. It gave me an idea, though. I tried calling the guys at Jensen and told them I was working on the "next big sensation in tube pres", and I'm sure you get the rest.
Wouldn't bite on it. No luck at all. He did tell me I could "borrow" one, but then I'd have to send it back after testing and I'd have to leave my credit card number for deposit. Damn.
So anyway, I'm sending out all the parts next week. NW soundman should be done with it sometime by the middle of August I assume, and he will be testing it out (and hopefully posting) "before and after" accoustic guitar samples. Which should be easy enough, because actually, he's only mod'ing one channel and leaving the other as is.
Thanks for asking. Will keep you posted.
