They have arrived;

Good point. I was referring to street vendors in Taiwan. Not surprised by what you said based on things I read and heard.

Depends on where you try it. Are you feeling lucky today? Had choudofu in Benxi years ago on a dare. Benxi in North China is a 2nd Tier city and few foreigners are seen there. Had LOTS of gaping mouth stares, chuckles and finger pointing by the locals at the laowei sitting on the curb and slopping up the smelly dish. At our western breakfast buffet the next morning, the girl that dared me to eat the stinky tofu would not try bleu cheese. In Guangzhou there are common official reports of choudofu being made skipping the long fermenting process by being marinated in human feces to get that stinky smell. Bon appetite!

That's probably the best improvement in your system

Happy birthday! (party favour noise) Hope you are doing well, and that you made another circumlocution around the sun successfully. (Or whatever a year is, I always forget.)

Jeez... was just about to buy that Cardas cable

Somewhat ironic user name on that one...

I wouldn't think so, but you would need to look at the matching on them as far as hFe and possibly Vbe to determine. I would swear that some of the On Semi I've bought recently still had Fairchild markings on it (On Semi bought Fairchild). Are you talking Fairchild 06 and On Semi 56 or a mixture in the same device type(s)?

OK boys steady yourselves.... Oh Yeah! It’s my new toy, I haven't got my grubby hands on it yet, it’s making it’s way from Portugal.

Thats pretty cool, and i like that he is trying to fix the typical bad ESL dispersion using electrical segmentation. i wonder how it ended up measuring off axis? Not so sure if i like the V shaped bass bin behind the panel though - why mess with the figure 8 radiation pattern when you dont have to? just place the bass next to the speaker and it will be in the dipole null, and not make any problems. Having rebuilt my old esl63 a couple of times, i know from experience how much of a pain it is to tension the mylar juuuust right, only to have it tear last second, so props to this guy for seeing it through, and making everything from scratch.
