All Activity

Shee-it. I went to Chicken Alley today and they had an Apple A1407 Thunderbolt display for $28, sold "as is" because they had no means to test it. I lugged it home and worked perfectly. The only part I can't quite figure out is which revision this one is. It has a physical latch that blocks off the webcam. Every other version of the Thunderbolt Display that I've owned has lacked this feature.

Welcome to the club. We are currently sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for our son’s flight to land. Oh and we are both drinking a beer because what is a better deal than airport beer.

All these, Peter! Take care.

A man of taste!

Longtime listeners will be familiar with my obsessions surrounding the music of Oliver Lieb. OL wears many hats, working as a producer, remixer, DJ and mastering engineer. In my jaded opinion, he's one of the people best at mastering techno on the planet. Oliver's productions are legendary for having every element positioned perfectly in the mix. OL has an on-again, off-again approach to social media. He'll post a bunch then take a few years off. He's been active recently, posting a bunch of historical photos and information. In his own words: TIL that OL is a big fan of vintage Quad and Parasound gear. It's like he's pandering to make me an even bigger fanboy. 🤣

Best wishes, Dusty.

So the diode bridges were replaced They most likely failed because the amplifier was left on when the lights were turned off, and when the lights came back on, the spark arrester failed and the diode bridges absorbed the shock... It seems the system here is such that it must be turned on only through the button - this is important because the button has a spark arrester. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to install diode bridges that can handle more than 2A or to install new capacitors with increased capacity - all the capacitors have been tested and they are all within the specified tolerances. While the amplifier is working, I will continue to observe.

Get better soon Dusty!

Get well Dusty!

Here are a couple of posts in Audio Asylum from the late Mr. Charles Hansen (founder of Avalon speakers and later Ayre electronics) where he illustrated the history and inner working of HDCD. There are many more related posts you can find in Audio Asylum. I found them both educational and very interesting read. https://www.audioasylum.com/audio/digital/messages/18/184385.html https://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=digital&n=184436&highlight=HDCD+pacific+charles+hansen&search_url=%2Fcgi%2Fsearch.mpl%3Fsearchtext%3DHDCD%26b%3DAND%26topic%3D%26topics_only%3DN%26author%3Dcharles%2Bhansen%26date1%3D%26date2%3D%26slowmessage%3D%26sort%3Dscore%26sortOrder%3DDESC%26forum%3DALL
