Happy Birthday, Shelly!

No reason I should post this now.

Been running my CFA3T at 150ma bias current per CFA2 board for quite some time. Just cranked it up to 200ma. I'm mounting the transistors direct to heatsink without an intermediary L bracket or such. After a few hours of on-time, I'm seeing about 55C on the cases of the hottest output transistors, so well within safe range once the junction>case temp math is done. Heatsink around 40-45C. Some of the bc555/6 are getting a bit warmer than I'd like though, so going to throw heatsinks on the hot ones as well. Sound wise, I think I hear more "speediness", highs/mids that are a bit more pleasing/engaging, and some increased weight and definition in the low end. Could just be my brain though. I've had been driving my Ascend Sierra Luna V2 monitors directly from the CFA3T to great effect. I added a sub line out via voltage dividers from each + terminal, and ground taken from PS ground to feed a small sub for this desk setup. And it's been bliss.

Happy Birthday Lil Sis!!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy (VE / World Donkey / Birth)day Shelly! Are you up to speed on ball polishing?

Obviously you need to tell us who you are dressing as and we'll need pics of you and the crew! Here's who I hope you chose:

Thanks for the birthday wishes (and I love the pic, Al)! I'm spending the day grading finals but tonight, I am having dinner new restaurant, Camaraderie, with a couple of friends tonight. Then doing bowling dressed as The Big Lebowski characters tomorrow night with my lezzie crew!

Happy Birthday Shelly! may your happiness increase exponentially: I could not figure out the source code to make the formula work in the forum, so sorry about the screencap. :} Cheers -

Happy Happy Birthday (Birthday)!

Pope Leo is from Chicago you say? New Yorkers might have something to say about that.

Happy Thursday, Shelly!

Happy Birthday, Shelly!!!

Happy birthday, Professor Harvey!

Hope you have a great day even though you celebrated early! Cheers!

Habemus Papam

Thanks for showing us the one to blame, in my ignorance I just blamed the British Empire's famous last words. What a mess he left.

Who was responsible for the partitioning of India into India and Pakistan? Mountbatten, last British Viceroy of India (the same guy blown up by the IRA in 1979). The British Government in 1947 decided to partition India into a predominantly Hindu India and a Muslim Pakistan. Mountbatten rushed it through, announcing the partition in June '47 and the partition border put in place and the new states established on 15th August '47. With as usual little thought for the consequences. That rush to partition by Mountbatten caused mass migrations and hardship, with roads packed with people heading in both directions. And like all partitioning exercises - Gaza and Israel is another example - they inevitably end in tears.

Older (and Wiser) by Lizzy McAlpine (2024) https://album.link/wgwhc8wnv2w2n Example: I really appreciate this release. At Just over an hour and 19 total tracks this explores a lot of things that she wants to say. I appreciate the production, close mic work like normal, but I was surprised at least 3 times by the choices made, and I am not surprised easily by music.
