Thank you all so much. What a long, strange trip it's been. It always makes me smile to see your names here.

My CFA-Unbal/Bal system VSPS: Unbal/Bal preamp not finished yet

You guys will get a kick out of this:

Roxy Music -- Siren

Thanks, but it's not impressive either. You only need; A "portable" GRLV (Or rather three GRLV ) Four CFA´s: And Unbal/Bal boards: At the last moment I decided to add a phono preamp (a VSPS) for MM and a capacitative buffer. With a knob you can select the line inputs (one XLR, two SE and one SE for the phono preamp). With the other knob you can select from where you want to send the output signal; directly from the unbal / bal, from unbal / bal + Cap buffer or put the mute. Unfortunately I have not been able to finish the preamp yet. I need to finish Diamond buffers. I have also been working on lighting the volume control.

Manuel is indeed his name! I was certain of that but he didn't correct the earlier posts so I went with it. See what happens when you don't stay in touch?

Mother's Day breakfast prepared by Alden and me. Challah French toast and summer fruits, with sausages and bacon. Took a hike around Lake Lagunitas to work some of it off.

I realize I'm a couple of decades late to this party, but I saw The Larry Sanders Show was streaming on HBOGO and decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did, it is F#$%ing hilarious!

MAK or Memphis. Call me if you want to discuss — easier than typing everything out. I’ve had a Memphis for about a year now and have figured it out pretty well. From what I hear MAK is just as good — they’re more industrial-looking where the Memphis is more yuppie/designer. Question of taste.

Hi All... Just an update, work and Mother's day got in the way. I'll start tonight. I'll post some pics in a few hours

Oh shit! Season 2 may have started a little slowly but they are rolling now. I didn’t think the show could get me hyped up again. I was wrong!

There's room to park the truck at my place if you roll through the Bay Area. And an indoor shower!

C-Ya, Wink! Always loved that avatar.

Brisket (Fairy not included) Assorted non-meats

Balanced done right gives you double the slew rate and 4 times the power. If it's a 4 pin xlr it's good to use on the gsx. Best with balanced source. the headphone cannot otherwise know if it's driven from a balanced or unbalanced source.

Oh, COME ON, not MINI-ME?!?!?

In between blizzards I decided to see how winter smoking would work. I think I found the secret to good brisket in my smoker, an early start. Got up at 2am/3am(adjusted) to start things off, let it ride for 3hrs. Starting the misting process at 6am, put it in the wrap around 9am when it hit 160, took till after 2pm to hit 205, let it sit there for almost an hour and then removed it to the cooler to rest for 2hrs before dinner. It was far and away the best I've done from a "falling apart" perspective. Flavor was also very good. Perhaps it was just leaving it alone to start with, or the fact that I cut the 6lb point in two prior to cooking, or just the randomness of life. Regardless, I have a happy belly. This in one of the two chunks, about 2-1/2 lbs (it was 3" think).

It’s a good thing Al. Case in point: Old Cohiba band sans holograms - old and antiquated.
