  1. Cotes de Boeuf with roasted carrots and tenderstems and (most shameful) premade Yorkshire puddings.

  2. Jacob, after I was ripped off -twice by the same lady- I had to look at a photo line up. I was clueless. Cops took it in stride. We are at a trash can painting event at the port with a friend and her daughters. Ran into several old friends. Either this is a smaller town than it seems or we know five million people. There. PIc inserted. It turns out "we" (Bonnie) won the first place prize for drum-painted-by(nominal)-adult. I love the smell of syrup in the morning...

  5. Getting a particular T2 stable can be a bit of a game. The problem arises from the fact that the feedback trace is quite long, physically. It was less long in the original Stax T2 because it was more compact (and as a result ran incendiary hot). Anyhow, the feedback trace has to get all the way from the output tube's anodes/plates all the way back to the input tube's cathodes. Mine used to hoot too - you need to adjust the 15pF value in small increments both upwards and downwards, and possibly add one or both 2.2pF caps, and again be prepared to tweak the value. While looking for oscillation and its frequency. Once it is stable, do a frequency response sweep and look for a response peak - if you find one continue adjusting those caps until it is critically damped. It is interesting to note that 15pF and 100k gives a dominant pole at ~100kHz whereas the oscillation is at 685kHz, which implies that there is a secondary feedback loop, possibly inductively coupling into the feedback trace. I have a vague recollection that I cut a trace and re-routed in some way, or changed the position of the upper feedback resistor, but I'd have to tear my T2 apart to find out what I did.

  10. Seems like oscillation was indeed the cause of the noise & high offset which has been sporadically happening. Happens now with either tube or solid state input. For reference both channels have 15pf bypass caps across the 100k feedback resistors. What about populating both C12 & C13 with 2.2pf caps? Apparently doing this killed the oscillation in pedefede's T2 a few years ago.

  13. Fucking hell. Chris too a number of Adivans before he killed himself. Benzos are a curse on humanity. I have a friend who is an RN who maintains adamantly that the only legitimate use for them is helping alcoholics who are detoxing deal with the DTs.

  17. It's actually to put YOU in a line-up! "Swear to God, I was just trying to unlock the door, held my cane up to free my hand to get my keys, but it scratched the lock and door; and this large white dude dressed only in boxers and a wife-beater shirt comes runnin' at me shakin' a pair of headphones and a fountain pen at me....I ran as fast as I could...." Seriously, though, honorable thing to do NOT to screw someone if you're not sure.
