Perhaps when he finds out he's not getting an enclosure he'll find some. -
Sorry I don't worship post counts and join dates. I'm here to conduct a business transaction, not to grovel at the feet of f1nut

This is exactly what I mean, you think your Mr. BMOC so your going to attempt to interfere with my purchase because I didn't sit down and shut up like you ordered.
I doubt Larry would be that petty but if he is so be it, I'm more than Capable of making my own enclosure. -

Yes, well the business transaction is directly related to your post count and (potentially, but not absolutely) join date. This is by design and directly related to the Polk forum rules. And being new, you may not understand that, but since it has been pointed out to you, perhaps you will consider this.Perhaps when he finds out he's not getting an enclosure he'll find some.
For some, that's what it takes (and more)......

Yeah I remember when I turned 25 my insurance went down even though my box of driving talent never arrived in the mail. Arbitrary rules based on arbitrary numbers are always assanine, and if the price for expressing my opinion on this particular one is f1nut leveraging his influence with toolfan to cut me out of the buy then whatever, I've got access to several machine shops at work, I'll make my own.

And should anyone really be surprised that the minute I called post counts e-peen bullcrap, the guy with the highest post count on the forum shows up to mess with me? I'm not. Your a very small and petty man f1

Which is precisely why there are rules, and the for sale section is off limits to new members. The Forum is wholly owned by Polk, and is not a Democracy. They want contributing members, not people who jump in to buy or sell gear and leave, only to return and do the same thing. You might want to take it down a few notches before you start throwing insults at members with higher post counts. People like F1, toolfan, nspindel, headrott, didn't increase their post count by engaging in idle banter with people like you, they got there by helping other members, by contributing.scubasteve4sq wrote: »Sorry I don't worship post counts and join dates.

We'll said. I have been a member for a long time, don't have a huge post count but if they kept track of post reads I would be pretty high on the list. That is due to the fact that I don't have the vast knowledge of the others being discussed. I appreciate their advise, how to's and all input they offer. I don't have the best system on here, but it is far better than anything I would have had without them.
I appreciate and respect them. We all have different opinions on some things, very easy just to move on without all the rude comments.

Wow, looks like we could have made the 25 mark.. I would have bought 2 at that price point.
I think it is too late to increase the order though.
I will probably regret not getting 2 of these!Pio Elete Pro 520

I never said it was a democracy, I said it was stupid. I have too many hobbies to worry about building post counts on particular forums, between knife making, gunsmithing, scuba diving, fishing, kayaking, computers, home brewing, and carpentry I don't have the time nor the inclination to worry about who thinks their special on the many forums I frequent. While I understand the necessity and the benefit of restrictions on who can sell goods or products, restrictions on the ability of casual users to peruse or view this section is unneeded and counter productive.
If f1 disagrees with me about that or anyone else for that matter then fine we disagree, the end. Stop doling out all your advice on the matter, Noone is going to change anyone else's mind or their behavior. -

You have a right to your opinion, and I'm glad you have a lot of hobbies to keep you busy. When I joined not so long ago, I too was frustrated buy the rules, and locked horns with a few of the members I listed previously. That was solely due to my naivetscubasteve4sq wrote: »I never said it was a democracy, I said it was stupid.

Not to mention the transformer you just were able to buy. Try that on your own buckwheat!!
Hard to believe the guy goes off the deep end wondering why we have the rules we have....
After he got a smokin deal on the torrid. If it wasn't for some here putting in the work on these he would of been S.O.L.
NICE scubbysnack:frown:
I agree, this thread is a great example in itself. It was started by a new member and another more senior member stepped in and helped him ( and all of us) to be able to do this.
It really isn't so bad having to get 100 posts, could be a lot worse.Pio Elete Pro 520

Noone did any design or research on these, dark knight called avel-lindberg gave them Matthew polks recommended specs and they came back with a few extra torroids left over from a custom run that fit the specifications. There's no magic going on, Mr. Polk laid out everything.
-
scubasteve4sq, actually there was plenty of research done by DK, see my post #126 for links to threads with his work. A lot of work went into experimenting with these transformers, to benefit people like yourself who can come along and a later date and say "Me too". It might benefit you to maybe express some appreciation instead of just hurling insults. If you're as displeased as you seem, I'll be happy to give you a refund. I'm sure drumminman would be happy if a transformer became available.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

I have read all the dreadnaught threads. If your referring to the they sound better mounted vertically and pointed to magnetic North stuff I put as much stock in that as I do in 13,000 dollar AudioQuest cables. Placebo effect.
-
These are 1:1 (or damn near it) toroidal transformers rated at 1000va per Matthew polks specs. All the break in and orientation and fairy cable stuff is subjective and lacks scientific proof.

Congratulations scuba, you're out. If you're going to sling more insults at DK's research and reduce it all to a placebo effect, then I feel no reason to help you get your hands on one of these transformers. We have each other's backs around here. Check your paypal, you've been issued a full refund.
Drumminman, PM coming your way.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance. -
Scubasteve, dissing DarqueKnight is a truly ignorant move. He has done more than anyone I can think of to take the SDA series to the highest level. Many/most of us have benefitted immensely from his experimentation and tweaks, many of which came about from trading ideas with MP himself.

Hah that's funny, what you call research I call anecdotal experience by a single person, if you believe in magical cable faries that's fine but show me the proof. Oh yeah you can't. I see the refund thanks for wasting my time. -
