A guy on reddit rehoused Alec 604e in new enclosures:

Meanwhile ... Ars TechnicaFCC abolishes gigabit speed goal, suggesting it is unfair...FCC decides 1Gbps is too fast, standard must be "technologically neutral."

This. and just to show the contrast of the passage of 16 years ...

who doesn't want to be faster?

Thanks Renato, really appreciate the support.

I'm not saying, I'm just totally saying.

Done. Good Luck!

The Queen...

My favorite Jamiroquai album... over time it's also become my son's favorite too

Always amusing to me that the guy in the band named “Beard” was the only member who didn’t have one. RIP

Godspeed, Frank… HS

Yes, but can your camera play DOOM? https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/retro-gaming/github-programmer-ports-doom-to-dslr-camera-with-3-inch-tft-lcd-display-canon-eos-550d-with-open-source-magic-lantern-firmware-uses-cameras-button-as-controls-even-plays-sound

Started watching Lanterns (HBOMax). Pretty good so far (1st episode). I've never been much into the comic book stuff (Spiderman, et. al.), but enjoyed Watchmen (movie and series) and am liking this one so far. https://youtu.be/7UIBOsuUwc4 Also watching Reacher s4, mentioned above. Dialog is still cringeable, but watched the first 3 episodes and still enjoyed them. Will continue watching.

working through glitches and continuing to make good progress, I’ve now passed the 50% line on my fundraising goal and certainly appreciate all the support received so far!

Unfortunately UK only, but…

RIP Frank Beard drummer for ZZ Top. The band is down to one original member(!)

Excellent suggestion - have started to slowly learn Proteus, that would be a useful exercise.

while you are at it, use the 3rd generation sicfet for the current source. requires extra 12v power supply.

So, a few months back I reached out to Simmconn as I though this pentode experiment would be very nice to try and he very kindly shared pcbs for the project. A couple of other projects got in the way right then but at the end of my summer vacation I had some free time and this was the perfect project to do: Obviously a bit of tidying up remains (both in the amp and behind it ), but it behaves very well and the sound is really good - a bit more bite compared to the EL34 Carbon GG but with the same tonal balance. Definitely a project worth pursuing should you be looking for something new to try. And a big shoutout to simmconn for finding these tubes and developing this version!
