Never my favorite band, but these are in my collection. Both pretty near mint as I don't think I played either more than once or twice. If anyone here is a collector, I'd be happy to sell them with all money going to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Thanks. Still trying to figure out which facial muscles to contract for a smile.

I only tried to separate the AC heater as far as possible using the empty pins for spaces on the umbilical cord and as far away from other wires as well for the PSU cable wirings, I twisted the AC heater together with ground wire and the other wires twisted in pairs, and cover them in a braided shielding and a sleeve. You can also overkill this by using a huge aquarium hoses and cover these 3 to create spacer away from the rest of the bunch. I don't care for a flexible PsU cables, just as long as it work great. I did not use the hose though The main hum problems should be from the main AC that may get too close to other wires, especially input-output. Just as long as you manage to keep them away from those, you should be safe. That is just my experiences

Gary, if your buddy likes Jameson them it would be cool to get him a really pricey single bottle like the great suggestion from Bryan, or else a few bottles of Irish ranging from $50 to $100 a bottle so he could try more of them. Redbreast 12 at $50 Redbreast 12 cask strength at $70 Green Spot at $70 Yellow Spot at $100 There's lots of other options but maybe that is a start. Mike Baker can certainly point you to the right shop...

Had to. Soundgarden - Superunkown Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger then something heavier Death - Symbolic

Jameson = Irish whiskey, not scotch. If you want to stick with Irish, Redbreast 21 year is absolutely fantastic and right at $300. If single malt, Macallan almost always does the trick. Rare Cask or 18 year would probably suffice in your price range.

Impeccable logic observed earlier today.

Undersized guard against the King....that's just rough. Sorry guys, but Lebron will cake walk to the Final just like the last 7 years.

If there were going to play like cowards they should have at least let Washington have a crack at Cleveland.

Glad to see you out there, Larry! Looking good!

Still better to be a Net than a Knick at this point, but the two NY teams are by far the worst in the league.... Man, this is a straight up massacre. The Raptors mentally collapsed even before the series started but I don't know what to call this. It's like a high school varsity team playing against middle schoolers.

Just use the 200VA 350V Antek: http://www.antekinc.com/as-2t350-200va-350v-transformer/ Solves all your problems Smaller, lighter, costs less, lower voltage so you can use 550V caps

I asked ABC to take a picture of the inside of the case back, as I was never able to get the damned thing open. The chrono paperwork shows a test date mid-December, '68, so Rolex was pumping them out as quickly as they were selling to dealers, back then. I thought this crowd might like the picture, especially given that it has marks from when watchmakers still marked case backs.

welcome back larry, you're looking happy and well.

Before this past Spring Break I hadn't been on a bicycle since fall of 2014, right before the big car accident. With my lung disease I'd go through a C-tank of oxygen within 15 miles of riding my Kona Nunu mtn bike on fairly flat ground with slight hills. Regardless, even with oxygen there was no hope of doing any riding in my hilly neighborhood at 6600 feet elevation, and especially no chance of making the 800 foot climb from the shopping center at the bottom of Cheyenne Mountain back up to my house (about 2.5 miles ride one way, with a grade ranging from 0 to 12% along the way). So we recently bought a pair of Trek eBikes so that I could ride in around our neighborhood whenever feasible, and so that my wife could keep up with me on the steep hills with her own eBike when she has time to ride. I bought the 17.5" Powerfly 7 mountain bike, but the smallest women's mountain bike was much too tall for my wife and she had to get the 14" Neko+ trail/hybrid. I tested the XM700+ and the Dual Sport+ first, but they didn't fit me as well as this one (and the one I got is sweet on single tracks unlike the others). The 29" tires roll over everything, and the Rock Shox Reba RL forks work great in combination with the Suntour NCX suspension seat post. The 203mm hydraulic front disk brakes are very impressive stoppers on fast downhill rides (up to 42.7mph so far), and the 75NM of torque lets me climb up very steep grades and trails. The bikes are class-1 pedal assist-only (no throttle), using torque sensing at the crank to multiply our effort, but with no assist past 20mph. We keep the assist levels as low as possible for the best workout and longest battery range. My bike adds power to the amount that I put into the crank in 4 levels: adds 55% more, 120%, 210%, or 300% more (up to 250W continuous or 500W peak), and my oxygen requirement has been dramatically reduced. My wife's bike does 50%, 100%, and 200%. Because of the mid-drive, the motor can benefit from the gear-set to make climbs easier. But because of the torque sensor, we still have to get some exercise in order to get the motor to help with climbs. On totally flat ground, any setting for assist makes pedaling effortless, which means I can leave my oxygen at home (not really true since my O2 sats drop to 85% just by walking). Range in the lowest assist mode on the easiest terrain is about 15 miles per 1 bar of battery (out of 5), or as much as 75 miles. On the harder rides around our neighborhood it drops 1/5 bars of battery every 6-8 miles, so my range would be closer to 30-40 miles. But I haven't ridden far enough to drain it more than 3 bars. I got an ECOhitch Invisi 1.25" hitch installed on my WRX (totally hidden behind the bumper) so we can take the bikes on a rack for holiday trips. We're going to Glenwood Springs CO this Memorial Day weekend, and we'll be able to ride the bike paths along the river in both directions. In the past we'd rent bikes and catch a shuttle to take us upriver so we could ride back downhill. Some parts would still be slightly uphill, and I'd need my oxygen despite the lower altitude. The plan is to ride out to the drop-off point and back, without needing the shuttle this time. Here's a pic of my wife with both bikes, then me, and the car with rack and her bike. (phone camera lens makes wife look tiny and me look huge because she's farther away behind the bikes and I'm closer and in front). I'd like to upgrade the bike rack to a 1up (or a Kuat NV base) at some point, because it's quite difficult to lift a 43 and 46 pound eBike onto the current rack.

I've replaced the J79 closest to the front panel now. Seems to have done the trick, offset is now normal on the right channel. No extra noise so far either. Thanks for the help Craig & JoaMat.

So I finished my my KGSSHV Carbon a few weeks ago. Been too busy listening to it, but I thought I would share my effort and measurements. I am lucky enough to have access to some test gear that allowed me to take thermal pictures of the amp and some further analysis such as frequency response. I also put together a bring up guide that I used. It is basically a summary of what others have already come up with here in posts. it can be viewed at: KGSSHV Carbon Bringup Guide Attached is the test report. And yes, the wiring still needs to be tidied up in that picture, especially the grounding. I was a little impatient, plus I still need to design a small latch and inrush limiter circuit for the momentary switch. For now the switch on the IEC connector makes do. KGSSHV Carbon - SR17001.pdf

Finally the holy triple with the frontplate of the carbon
