A quick chicken dish to avoid eating out. Turned out pretty good. 

Putting this here, because I live under the delusion that I will some day get through the "Check out this music (fuck VEVO)" thread.  As I mentioned elsewhere, a DJ I knew for over 25 years died recently.  Periodically, he'd send me a link to a remix he thought I might like.  I used Faecesbook's "see friendship" and found a few of them yesterday. Maneater needs no introduction.  It's a summation of early 80s synth pop to a T.  It's infectious, over the top and will be stuck in your head for days.  It's not an easy song to remix properly and do anything original.  Certainly there are a legion of remixes out there, most significantly faster than the original's ~90 BPM.  Flying White Dots went in the opposite direction, stripping out most of the original and making sparing use of sparse elements while dubbing the absolute fuck out of things.  I have sneaked this remix into more than a couple downtempo sets over the years.   On the other end of the energy spectrum, The Reflex Stems turn Lennon's diss track against McCartney (that is as much autobiographical as it is about Paul) into a nearly 10 minute epic.  In spite of its length, there isn't too much wasted space here.  The Reflex wisely left enough time before John's vocals come in to make it easy to work this remix into more conventional downtempo.  For me, this is a great "late into the set" track.  Both remixes exemplify Matt's ear for quality.  I played both of them (unmixed) over my main sound system last night as a tribute.

Five coasters and an outboard cup holder? It seems like you plan to have many drinks simultaneously while working at that desk. 😳

No particular reason behind the jfets, aside I like the to-71 package and that it’s fairly easy to build the layout around them SMD transistors because they are small. I had to decrease current at some locations to reduce heat. I see this amplifier merely as an experiment.  I wanted to test if it was possible to make a small board. The bias servo is probably needed while moving from heatsinked MJExxx to small smd transistors. I believe the bias servo previously posted by Kevin, with dual op amps, is preferred. So, another experimental board…

Hey guys, I haven’t posted here in a good while. I’m glad that the forum is still alive. 😀 Does anyone have experience comparing the BHSE with KGST? I am kind of in the market for e-stat (specifically for the Audeze CRBN, I’m really surprised with how much I like them). I planned to order KGST from Birgir but a second hand BHSE popped up in our local market at around the same price.  Not many e-stat gears are circulating around nowadays so I have no choice but to blind buy.
