Back a decade or three I was CTO of Wharfedale, and we acquired a bust company called Lynx for a tiny sum of money. Run by two New Zealanders; they made a really sweet range of products based around an FET power amplifier. Sounded very nice indeed (even if it was a bitch to manufacture). This is an example http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649106536-super_rare_lynx_nebula_mosfet_integrated_amplifier/images/694258/ . Anyhow, we were sat one day when a return came in - with a letter saying from a guy in Hong Kong saying it had burst into flames and demanding some outrageous compensation. We unpacked it, and sure enough it was a charred mess inside. Smelling strongly of petrol. We got the Chemistry lab at Leeds University to do some forensics and write an expert report. We sent that to the guy in HK - and that was the last we heard from him.9 points

Notes Falling Slow is basically the three albums starting with Open, my favourite period of theirs, plus bonus material that fits real well. If you like this, you'd probably also like Devics. Will put on Caution Horses.2 points

I'm with you on Cowboy Junkies. I am in major heart with The Caution Horses, not a bad song on it and my favorite of theirs. I remember them appearing on David Letterman at that time, and he introduced them naming their new album The Cautious Horses....2 points

Sunk Cost Fallacy. The thing to do at this point is to use a scope* to follow the signal path. You'll find your break that way. My suspicion would be that soldering thick wire onto the flimsy PCB pulled up a trace somewhere. * if you don't have a scope, run a 60Hz tone through it and test with a DMM on AC.2 points

Good advise. I use those wooden coffee stirrers at Starbucks as spacers while soldering the resistors to the boards. When done, pull 'em out. Gives a nice uniform outcome.2 points

Cowboy Junkies, Notes Falling Slow (ly...sic) -- goddamn, I love Cowboy Junkies, especially their slower numbers. Reminds me of the desert and being able to breathe. I could just rewind this to the beginning and...actually, I think I will.1 point

I wrote a Python implementation with full GUI on Raspberry Pi 3 with touchscreen, which works fully on the old I2C boards balanced with balance control like the one I did for 4D systems touchscreen. I will take the next few weeks to incorporate that into a full web server implementing a RESTful API. However, just to make sure, is the pdf Kevin posted in the beginning of the thread the correct wiring for the relays? As in first 4 flipped compared to the second 4, etc. Also, the MAX4820s are daisy chained so do you just write commands in series? I have to implement bit banging SPI because the touchscreen uses the hardware SPI1 point
