Thanks y’all (not sure I can say that now that I’m out of Texas). Had a wonderful day watching a 4yr old with strep and projectile vomit. Man have I changed a bit.

I’ve replaced 120R and optocoupler circuit with a DN2540 circuit. In LTspice it seems to work. If input offset is +100V then I get a current in the Circlotron of 850 mA with the optocoupler and 75 W at 120R resistor and 750 W at the MosFet. With DN2540 the current stays at 25 mA and DN2540 will take some 2.7 W and hopefully nothing will blow. This is of course in theory and what will happen in real life is a completely different story.

Average temp of 26.7C - can't be better.

Nice of you to take over for a week as here we are at 5°C and 1m/s... so pretty much excellent winter weather.

A very happy birthday to you, Naaman!

On one of the guitar groups I'm in on Facebook, they're having a Finland vs. England thread:

Eat Static ...In The Nude! Salon Kitty is quite humorous, the rest is typical Eat Static

Happy Birthday Sir!

The problem with these newcomer headphones is that they are always the "best" thing... until the next "version" comes along, where that one suddenly becomes so much better than the last one. Just look at how much time it took to progress from the LCD-2 (which was still not the first one from Audeze) to the LCD-4. It was about 6 years I think, and even with the latter there are still sample variations involved. So where does this stop? And I would like to add that our mind is very "clever" in that it can adjust relatively well to any "not-completely-crap" sound signature, so in the long-term there is always a better chance of becoming the "best" as opposed to just auditioning something else. So maybe the real question about the "best" is: "is there actually such a thing" and maybe the "current personal favourite" is a much better description.

Happy Birthday!

It's almost like Dave Swarbrick ("Swarb") who was one of the founders of Fairport Convention, and a folk fiddler who's style has been copied ever since. We saw him shortly before he died for the second time in 2016. He basically had smoked so much that he contracted emphysema, and ended up performing with an oxygen cylinder next to him and a mask from which he'd take relief from time to time. Anyway, in 1999 he was admitted to hospital in pretty poor shape, and The Daily Telegraph published his obituary. He subsequently recovered, and used to read out the obituary at concerts! The folk community then held benefit concerts called "Swarb-aid" and "Swarb-aid 2" to raise money for a double lung transplant, which went ahead in 2004. That bought him 12 more years, and continuing wall to wall concerts. So yes - Swarb died twice, and is one of the few people to have had two obituaries separated by 17 years.

Happy birthday Naaman!

Happy Birthday, Naaman! Have a howling good time.

He's a vagitarian.

Eat meat today. I insist, as would any sensible doctor.

I'll try to keep that in mind for the next time he dies. Poor bastard.

Decided to try a breakfast that I've been pondering for a while, Huevos Empanadas. Everyone seemed to enjoy the results.

Story of my life, and probably most DIYers... casework is the worst which 3d printer do you have? Here is version 1 of the hamster cage, needs a few more improvements before I'm willing to try to machine everything

Pretty low expectations for $4K, eh? And no, the product doesn't look very good. "Flimsy piece of shit" isn't an impression that I would associate with a good product. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just glad that my Blur box set wasn't called "The Compleat albums collection" or somesuch.
