I have two of those 160 GB iPods floating around the house somewhere. Not sure what to do with them exactly, except maybe use them as local audio sources (I don’t own any streaming devices)?
And to stay on topic, a purchase from the diyAudio Store: a long-awaited Pearl 3 phono pre. Oddly I was able to get the power supply kit beforehand, but that’s no big deal. It just means I won’t have an excuse not to build it!

I bought some rectifier boards from audiophonics with 20,000uf per side with fast recovery diodes and some three way screened power cable and a few lengths of braid to beef up the screening in my active speakers. They are very compact and this doesn’t leave much clearance between PSU and audio bits so I’m trying some screened cable to try to minimize the small amount of audio hash coming from the psu cabling.
A pair of Klipsch - $22.50 ea from my local Val-Vil thrift. Actually retrieved my portable pink noise tester to check before purchase; couldnt believe none of the drivers were blown in either cab...well, open circuit anyway. They seem to play fine and although the cabs finish is banged and mauled in the usual thrift store way, they're refinish-able.
How do the grills come off - get something behind it and pull? Someone stuffed a wad of plastic in there on just the one, I assume to keep the grille board from rattling against the baffle.

probably just 'Klipsched' on lol.
If you're sure they come off then 'back in the day' we used to screw a couple of fine screws somewhere inconspicuous and pull.
Once off staple a length of folded tape/material to the back and leave a little of it proud when you refit. Then in future all you need to do is pull the tape out to its full length and pull to remove.
Bought a pair of these off eBay from a UK designer of various interesting audio gear.
Active 24db LR crossovers, with output transformers to convert to balanced. One can populate the other stations on the daughter boards and use the dip switches to select different XO Hz. Also features an overall 24db system HP to help the subsonics. Currently set at 15Hz (-6db at 15) but I shall probably raise that.
Nicely thought out and implemented bit of kit. Look forward to using it.
