That's OK, we have those days...

I think the power supply is starting to die.  Saw the example of it last night.

I may have upset Paul by emailing him at his home addy.  don't know...  since then, he hasn't said a word to me.  I guess maybe that's for being a good customer?  :^)

On a serious note, I can't ship that sucker out and have it repaired.  It'd cost a mortgage.  I'm trying to not skip out on paying techs but the mailing costs are on the roof, let alone the hourly charge would probably be more than it's worth..  Market value of about $1200 on eBay - or more - but still... when you're broke, you're broke.   I spent a bunch starting to clean up the other relics I have.  Batteries, boards, power supplies, etc.  This last power supply I can afford, if that's the problem.  I think it may be.

Yeah, since I live in an apartment and can't have the mixer / amp cranked, the headphones are the cat's meow.  what a SERIOUS difference in quality with an old beat up set of phones.

Anyhoo, talk to you sometime...

Tracy
