I'm also interested in Halo Acoustics though I can't find their headphones in stock at Taobao. I also heard they're making a headphone in the 10,000 RMB range.

Sure @Pars - the rice is from the NYT Cooking site: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022318-cilantro-rice?smid=share-url. That might be paywalled, always tough to tell with NYTC so let me know if it doesn't come through. It's the kids favorite rice. My only tweak is I use a little less onion powder and sub in some garlic powder. Enchilada Sauce - Ingredients 1 pound tomatillos 4 cloves garlic 2 jalapeno peppers 2 poblano peppers 2 serrano peppers (I usually can't find these so just up the poblanos) 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro ½ tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon spicy chili powder Salt and pepper to taste 2 cups chicken broth Juice from 1 lime Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I actually just use the broiler, on low and first and then ramping up to high. Doesn't really go any faster but gives better char on the peppers in my experience. Peel away the dry husk and rinse the tomatillos. Chop them in half and set them skin sides up onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Slice all of the peppers in half lengthwise and set them onto the baking sheet. You might need more than one sheet. Also, remove the innards of the poblano before placing them. Add the garlic to the baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pepper skins are nice and charred. You can also broil them, but don't set them too close to the heat source. Remove from heat and let everything cool a bit. Peel the skins from the peppers, if desired, and add to a food processor with tomatillos. Squeeze the garlic from their skins and into the food processor they go. **tip, but the peppers in a foil pouch and let them steam for a bit to make removing the skin easier** Add cilantro, cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper. **tweak - I use less chili powder, and leave the cilantro till the very end. I think the flavor is better that way** Process to combine. **I use an immersion blender in the pot I cook the stuff in after adding the broth** Add chicken broth and lime juice and process until smooth.**adjust broth amount based on how thick/thin you like your sauce. Pour the green enchilada sauce into a pan or a pot and simmer for 5-10 minutes or so to let the flavors fully develop. **don't over-cook the sauce. I cooked it all day once and the flavor seemed to break down too much. ** Final Assembly I always use corn tortillas, heating/softening them in the microwave in batches of no more than 10 as instructed on the package. Use anything from rotisserie chicken to baked, boiled, grilled, etc., as long as it's shredded. I usually season the chx lightly with homemade taco seasoning (Alton Brown's 19). 1.5lbs is usually enough for 20+ enchiladas. I stuff each tortilla with chicken and cheese, roll, place in a greased glass dish until its full. There's never too many enchiladas. Top liberally with sauce and cheese, bake at 350 for 25min (covered) and then uncover for another 5 minutes. Fresh grated cheese is always best, sometimes there's time, sometimes there's not. It's not a huge difference, but a nice one if you have the time. I usually mix colby-jack and cheddar. Go all out and get a little queso fresco if you want to go full fancy.

Those look great Nate! Would you share the recipe?

Obvious reasons.

The good news is that the 100mA fast-blow fuses are intact. So the load should be fine. So it's just the power supply maybe.. I'll try ordering diode bridges tomorrow. Looks like it's time to replace them.

The diode bridge could be shorted or something down the line is making it pull a lot of current.

The L500 pads are virtually the same, a bit thicker but it won't change much. Same for the L700 pads but they will both also melt away. I always use the all leather pads from China now, cheaper and much better quality but you need to get them onto the plastic mounting plate from the original pads... which is a bit of a pain

My friend's L300 pads are melting. Will there be any negative consequences on the sound if he switches to L500 or L700 pads? Also holy crap the build on that X1 clone looks worse than some $20 headphone from the 1990s

It's an interesting unit Not the sharpest thing in the world, but it focuses quickly. The out of focus areas are warm and fuzzy, so it has good bork-eh. Probably best used outdoors.

Yes, Birgir, it looks like you're right... I installed a 3A fuse - This time he held out and didn't burn... I installed jumpers on 2 and 5... and it looks like smoke is coming from one of the diode bridges, D11, at the bottom... It's not much, but still... I immediately turned it off I'll look for a modern replacement... It looks like it's 30 years old and needs replacing... along with the d12... It looks like the problem isn't with the slow blow fuse...

2 and 5 is what I'd set it to and that is also likely not the cause, fuses blow for a reason so check for any failed parts. These amps are almost 30 years old at this point so they need to be refurbished.

I guess it would need extra spacing between the bcp and heatsink to acomodate the relays. Looks very nice, if you end up ordering boards for a finalized version, could I bother you with a set? I have a GRLV configured at 24V which could be put to work. I guess one of those mini dissipante cases from modushop should be a nice fit for this.

Thanks, Kevin. I'll try switching it to 2 and 5. And I'll install a 3A or higher fuse. And I'll test it...

I found this drawing... The jumpers are currently set to 3 and 5...

that is not one of the available options. the options are 100v, 120v and 240v some people think the 120v option is 115 but it is not. for 240v the 120v windings are in series. if you really want the 120v in series with the 100v for 220v, you have to wire remove all the jumpers and wire by hand

Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker - I've Got the Music in Me (Sheffield Labs recording on CD) - Picked up at a local Goodwill on a whim based on the label. I was not familiar with the Sheffield Lab era but was intrigued by the cover, so I grabbed it. Have I found my newest obsession?

Hi Birgir Thank you for your interest in this topic. I just can't find a suitable slow-blow fuse =( Its dimensions should be 6x30 or 6.2x32 or something like that, it should be rated for 250v and 1.5a and be a slow blow.. So I thought I could use a higher-amperage fast-blow fuse for timing tests... Hi Kevin, thanks for your comment. Well in my 220-volt network, the voltage sometimes rises to 230... So I thought it would be a good idea to put jumpers on 3 and 5... instead of 2 and 5.... just to have some reserve... It seemed to me that it's better to have a reserve of -10 volts than +10.. As far as I understand, the power supply here is unregulated and exceeding the input voltage is a bad idea...

you do not have the jumpers in the right position for the voltage you need. the voltage rating on the fuse is meaningless.
