"OK Stretch, here's the plan. You tackle that douche and then I'm going to stab him right through the fucking eyeball." "Not sure that's a great idea Al." "Who's the lawyer here, me or you?"

Good to meet friends old and new. So long NYC

Was I that out of control last night?

Fogless misting system for my mill I'll be able to turn this on and off from the milling software via the solenoid on the left (below)

It was great to meet everyone, get home safe!

We look OK now, But the fractious small child proximity alert has triggered. Deploy JH-13's, stat!

The Bay Area crew is an Uber that has a seat for each of us. Cheers until the next one! Mil spec scallops anyone?

Assorted meats.

Really enjoyed myself this weekend Safe travels.

Great time folks, thanks to all that were able to make it out and to the new members of the travel team. Headed back home on the train now feeling rung out but grinning ear to ear.

Great to meet you too, Tom. Fly safe Peter. One more...

just get him new JH13s every year as his ears grow

Utopias sounds damn good out of the GSX and the Sony Z1R headphone and HA-ZH1ES dac/amp was quite a nice and compact setup.

Stubby penis latte FTW! Oh shit! The Red Vodka battalion.

Not bacon

Do they have bacon ramen?

Watching Super Bowl very lucky I turned it on about an hour ago and walked off because Comcast Internet and X1 platform (which allows channels to be changed etc) are down and should come back sometime after the game. I am unable to change channels but I have the right one on and I have my kid tethered to my work phone. So we are in business.

Or a Cursed Earth warlord.

I kind of like "Atomic Floyd." Sounds like a character from a 2000AD comic. He could be a member of the Strontium Dogs.

Liked the Sonys too. And the Prismsound Callia DAC/amp/pre. Relieved to find the Utopias do not fit me well at all. Stupidest new names award to Audio Pravda and Atomic Floyd.

I accidentally spent the vast majority of my time at the meet in the Audio Precision room. Got some juicy measurements because I walked in with my vintage headphones as they were trying to measure various flagships. The measurement pdf they gave me for the ECR500 was the wrong one with messed up data, so I emailed them and they said their test gear was already being shipped back to Oregon so they'll send me the right pdf in a week, and then I'll post the full set here. Will post listening impressions later.

The new sony headphone and dedicated amp/dac was a big win for me. Didn't like any of the Empire Ears CIEMs at all wanted to like the ZMF new headphone but in the meet setting just ok not worthy of laying down the cash for one until I hear more.

No doubt, but it's the apex of soldering. You can actually pick up retired factory production line Metcal systems for dirt cheap on ebay, that's how I got my soldering station and deslodering gun.

You really need to solder the large center pad or you could have thermal issues. I don't think there's a way to do that with an iron.

Space shuttling with wings and thrusters

Or in H-C preferred speak

Can you do one in solid state....?

Does this really mean what it says? A brisk walk and another ticketed trip ensues. Thanks Google\s

NO!

WE'RE AT A MEET!

Finally finished casing my Blue Hawaii today. Running on my "universal" PSU that also powers my HV Carbon. 400VDC and 18VDC rails, 20mA plate current. The heatsinks warm up to about 42C (108F) and stabilize, about 22C (40F) rise from ambient temperature. The chassis is a Breeze Audio 3608A, one of 5 chassis I bought from Breeze Audio at TaoBao. I requested that the front and rear panels be left plane, un-drilled. Works quite well.

Bacon infused Dark and Stormy

Despite Brent's biscuit, I am safely home, and I found a hairball, but no more vomit, so all is well in Chez Chalk. I even got some sleep in the train.

looks like The Boy has gotten onto your account We'd recommend the Sennheiser HD800S as a starter headphone

I finally finished this one today after about... 4 years or so... Let's just say that I hate anything with umbilical cables... Besides the madness of using 4 mains transformers and the super short filament winding's for the CCS tubes this was easy enough. Running at +/-400V off a BHSE power supply with the dropper resistor and zeners to feed the front end. Only main difference is the 12VDC supply used to heat the front end tubes so the board was cut up pretty bad. Next one will use the Megatron V2 pcb's in about 3 years or so...

Cuban sammich. 18 hr sous vide pork roast, + ham, pickle, mustard, and swiss, unfortunately on a sub roll instead of cuban bread which I haven't found here yet.

watch Louis Rossmann - YouTube I used a candle warmer to preheat the area. clean the pads liquid flux tin the pads clean reflux use hot air station solder with silver content helps with gold plating.
