Peter Weller talks coffee: Also, he wrote his first book on a book on Italian painting from before 1435: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/leon-battista-alberti-in-exile/CA506C81F7296D3DB63B1EDC7A136E9E

Went off on a Devics bender again, just finished it the other day. Also going through some new releases: Kardi, When the Lights Out EP -- dangerously obsessable (Korean) poprock New SmashPups song, Chrome Jets. Rifftastic. Reminds of someone, can't put my finger on whom -- Randy Rhoads era Ozzy maybe? New Haezl song She's taking some time off to care for a family member, so there will probably be a delays in the other 6 parts of this. Pink Floyd, "The Machine Song - Demo #2, Revisited" -- almost sounds heavier without the beat/throb Crippling Alcoholism, Camgirl -- gothic rock, noise rock, darkwave Maruja, Pain to Power -- post-rock, post-punk, art rock

A last taste of England. "I'm sorry we're out of clotted cream" England, eh.

That looks like green-brown-green to me which is 5.1M so almost correct but no way that resistor is rated for the voltage. The GES had various upgrades available over the years.

Geez, that baby is ready for war. Some people just have too much time I guess.

Wet Leg - Moisturizer ex. a little more

She’s fun

New Chameleons, Arctic Moon. Some similarity to their older work, but much is new and different. Lyrically I love it, and the music fits each song. Lead singer Vox (used to be Mark Burgess) puts some soul and emotion into the words, representing relationships, new-found love but also the scary nature of the modern world (last song for example is called Saviors Are A Dangerous Thing). But it's certainly an acquired taste. I'm loving it so far.....

I’ve bought a Woo Audio GES for my Lambda collection and until know it compares favourably to my Stax 313 and 006T. But as I don’t want to fry my Lambda’s I was hoping someone could check the bias resistors used in the pics of the imgur link below: https://imgur.com/a/JbKgvgW I tried to check the color codes of the resistors myself, but given my limited experience was not able to make the correct calculations like Birgir’s example above. Btw it seems that my GES is different than the two others in this thread. Mine seem to have a different construction of the power supply and uses some Auricaps and Mills resistors. Was this offered as an upgrade by Woo Audio?

Was just reading about Betty Soo....looking forward to trying.....thanks!

Yes, that one isn't there. There are some balanced input boards up there but not sure what those are exactly. There was a GB back in 2017 for a bunch of stuff that the diffinput3smtd board was mentioned in, but not sure if those were actually included in the GB or not. Pinging @kevin gilmore @sbelyo ran that GB and might also have the file.

Lovely, finally some use for circlotron psu. Most things settled - only finance issue… no prediction.

there are a couple of places that sell the same thing that are not ebay. circlotron power supply works fine for 700v, 800v etc.

Yes, I've exactly these two addresses, but the smd board is not included in there.

Here are the links to Kevin's files for PCBs and schematics etc. i think that for your application you would be fine without the buffer.

Thanks. I avoid ebay. Goods tend to be stuck or disappear in Swedish customs. Suggestions about +/-750V?

was planning on using the teflon versions on ebay. but i think that ceramic one is exactly the same size.

I didn’t see this one coming. “CRT enthusiasts” are here. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250911-the-people-who-hunt-down-old-tvs

Yep, I’ve noticed output and filament boards match up to each other. Here is how it looks like on my screen, all output tubes side by side. Size 24 in x 12 in – huge. Question regarding jumbo socket – what socket do you have in mind? This from a French company might fit.?

no real reason to shrink the filament board, but go ahead and try. the output tube spacing is already at the minimum and that results in a specific board size. no reason for the filament board to be any smaller than that because all the holes need to line up. filament board stacks on the output board.

Thank you Pars, I had a read of the thread, so, seems that the balanced/unbalanced board per se ends with the file diffinput3.zip; following ones, 5, 5a and 6 present only the diamond buffer though. Since in the drive repository I couldn't find the file I really need, http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/boards/diffinput3smtd.zip I'm asking here, in case someone could supply it. Another point that I couldn't clarify through reading, is buffer needed only when interconnect cables are very long? Or could I use directly the unbal/Bal between DAC and amp? Thanks, Mike
