I built my Carbon amp 5 years ago, decided to check it as I bought new X9000’s the offset was 20 V off on one side..Components age like anything else it’s worth a check. Warm up the amp for an hour, check your power supply test points and measure your bias, balance and offset voltage should be around 0V +/-200mv for each rails

Today's kitchen foray yielded onion rings. Mostly to try making a dipping sauce I recently had at a new burger place. I've always found it wise to flower the onion rings before dipping in batter. I think it makes the batter cling better. My batter consist of 1/4 cup corn starch (browns better) 1 1/2 cups of Krusteaz pancake batter and I used 1 3/4 cup of Trader Joe's ginger beer. The carbonation makes the batter lighter and the ginger adds just a hint of something you couldn't really name. The sauce is super simple, but absolutely delicious. Duke's mayonnaise, malt vinegar and cracked pepper. My new young friend thinks I'm a Chef.

Still got it.

Hot, fresh, Beignets, from the source.

After a tasty breakfast BLAT, went for a tour on the bayou. Where we saw plenty of wildlife, up close.

I will never get tired of posting Kardi videos. Sorry/not sorry (Also, some really nice cinematography of Busan.)

Breakfast of champions? (BLAT) @ no waiting https://commercerest.com/

Turns out, I lied. Weather cleared out over night and the roads dried out enough to get in a quick 16 miles this afternoon.

Usual to start, (not shown) Latte with the (off the menu), seasonal pancake special. We're not savages.

Soda & pancakes? 🤔

Brunch at Bearcat (CBD) Worth the wait.

^ I defer to the expert. In 1983, after graduating college and returning to Alaska, I needed cheap meals that could be portioned and frozen. I came up with a recipe I called Batchelor Stovetop Casserole. As many of my recipes do, it has evolved throughout the years. I no longer cook it on the stove top. I discovered that rustic chopping and roasting in the oven made for a less mushy texture and better flavor profile overall. This will be for dinner and future lunches. One large yellow onion, two bell peppers (Red & Orange), baby bellow mushrooms, corn on the cobletts, Yukon gold potatoes (5 small), Polska Keilbasa, 5 cloves sliced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary and EVOO. Roast in the oven at 400 for about 90 minutes. Prior to roasting...

Hirsch and I were really into them way back when. He saw them several times, I saw them at least once (maybe twice). Factoid: that's where Camille got her start. And credit where credit is due -- Hirsch recognized her talent even before she was a solo artist.

On the official Rolling Stones and Fatboy Slim channels! NOTWAT

Interesting day yesterday. First discovered a nearby restaurant burnt down. Then went to The Friends of The Library book sale and after buying an Atlas found a bunch of fun donation cards in the back. Finally stumbled across another Día de los Muertos celebration around the corner.

Mushroom, red bell pepper, tomato, avacado and cheese omelet. Hashbrowns, bacon and English muffins (crumpets?).

Model seems to be V5 from 2015

Going down a massive rabbit hole of cover songs by this band Nouvelle Vague. They are a bit kitsch a la The Mike Flowers Pops Orchestra (who did a GREAT cover of Wonderwall). These folks cover so many great and sometimes a bit obscure New Wave/Punk songs. Want Latin/Bossa Nova versions of Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart? Check..... Want a light and playful version of the Dead Kennedy's Too Drunk To Fuck? Check.... If you can get past some monotony, these guys are fun, and their song selection is pretty cool! Some examples:

First class ! Thx a lot 👌

A lot of schematics and other information at link below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/152thxfZafBmisG0CKCv6X82V-Ch9TjMH I found below PDF, which might be what you are looking for. kgsshvcarbonproductionv5.pdf Jump to this thread - for Carbon builders only. https://www.head-case.org/forums/topic/12330-kgsshv-carbon-build-thread/

Hi, i am new to the Forum. I'am french, fond of tube amplifiers, and electronics / automation Engineer, living in France. My question is : a friend brought me a Carbon bought from USA, and arrived in bad condition. I succeeded to repair it and it functionned 2 days when he brought it back home. Then suddenly the left Channel started to distord hardly and it continues even at starting up in cold condition. I think about a dry solder. Any help appreciated ! Here is a pic, can you help me identify the model and find the schematics ? Cheers !

Occasionally, I'll listen to the big ones. I like to space them out to keep them somewhat fresh. SACD

Alan Parsons Project - in case anyone is wondering, the 2007 CD remasters sound fine to me. They might be a bit louder than the original CD pressings, but I don't hear any distortion or clipping. I got I Robot and Eye in the Sky (contemplating getting Pyramid, Eve, and The Turn of a Friendly Card as well).
