The Stingray Photobomb to End All Stingray Photobombs

theres been some b.s. at my job this year, I've been kind of a workaholic zombie. I've finally figured out that I have enough overtime coming to have a bit of fun. It helps that I am pretty apathetic to just about everything else requiring the spending of money.

Noise cancellation of COMMON MODE noise happens wherever the phases of the signal are compared. If the phases are compared at the inputs, noise cancellation happens there. If the phases are compared across the drivers that is where the noise cancellation happens. The cool thing with amps like this is you get noise cancellation regardless of whether you use the SE or balanced outputs. With 4-boards in one box amps (icky) you only get noise cancelation when running balanced. 4boards-1box amps also amplify the noise through the whole amp, gobbling up overhead - if you get rid of the noise early (in either SE or 2ch balanced amps) you can improve performance greatly. A 2-channel balanced buffer would be infinitely better than 4-boards in one box. Separate is not equal.

Ravel & Debussy - Bolero & Images SACD

not a pro but i took a quick crack at it...if you have the raw file, i could play with white balance as well but with the jpeg you posted this is what i could do.

It has been effing cold the past couple of mornings (low 30's) and in some of the large field near my house this has caused a cool low-fog phenomenon. Some of the fog/mist is frozen on the grass.. I caught a quick cell phone picture of it yesterday morning. This is about a mile from my house and it's not uncommon to see 100 or so cows in the far pasture. (taken w/ Galaxy S III in sunrise mode)
