Brent reminded me that I suck and don't come here very often. Thanks all for well wishes and especially Brent for the reminder to check. Work is going well but very hectic and I just don't have as much time to look at the web or even listen to my office rig as I used to. I'm up for a promotion which would change my job to more consistent tasks and less hectic but I doubt I'll get it. Had a good birthday, family and fishing isn't a bad way to spend a day3 points

I finally broke down and put my "temporary" acrylic front plate on my carbon build... I finished the boards almost 9 months ago and have been waiting for access to a cnc or mill to make the front and back plates. After waiting for so long, I finally bolted the acrylic plates that I had originally made just to size and verify the positions of the components... The amp sounds pretty darn awesome, even with the uncased DIY drivers I had made... Loud enough at 12 O'Clock position to fill a small room with very transparent, noise-free music... Definitely enough to blow out what's left of my eardrums. It'll probably be a while before I can get the permanent, aluminum front and back panels made.3 points

Having neglected bourbons due to tons of new Scotch lately, I finally gave up on finding Elijah Craig barrel proof anywhere near MSRP and bought one locally. I hate limited-release bourbons that are hard to find and/or command huge premiums ? Will EC BP be worth the money I paid? Nose leads with mounds of melted caramel and mouth-watering sweetness. One sip and dark oak hits the palate very briefly followed by intense caramel, then some more caramel, followed by less intense levels of dark fruits with salty, oaky, mildly sweet, medium finish. It's 131 proof but easier to drink with less burn than say.. Booker's 128 proof. Good stuff! Although I ended up paying more than the readily-available Booker's or Forester 1920, this is a must-have barrel proof for my collection. I like the regular EC small batch, which is great bargain at $25, but compared to barrel proof, the intense melted caramel never comes, with more muted oak and moderate caramel persisting evenly without the same complexity or dark fruit notes in mid-palate. I wish I could find it near MSRP, but I will probably end up buying more in the future anyway... *Edit. One really bad thing about EC BP is that it is soooo sweet and caramelly that I cannot enjoy ANY of my peated Scotch after drinking the EC BP. The sweetness in peated Scotch that balances the peat gets completely overwhelmed by EC, even after water, making my beloved Islay drams taste extremely unbalanced without balancing sweetness ?2 points

Thank you so much for all your advices. I've finally fixed the problem. The C2M1000170 and 10M90S on my board have gone bad for some reasons. I replaced C2M1000170 with a SCT3080KLGC11 from a local store, and luckily it worked. I parallel the 5R with one more 5R, and now the power supply is working perfectly. The amp has been running for at least 2 hours with no problem. I couldn't have fixed it without your help, Kevin, Blueman2, and Soren. Thanks again.1 point
