coming soon, synchronous diode bridge using lt4320 and power fets lower dropout voltage, much less switching noise

The two mirrored boards are now a married pair. Size 6.3in x 7.87in / 160mm x 200mm. If you want them divorced use a guillotine and cut along the center line.

Gustin raw denim skinny experiment #2 has me realizing that skinny jeans just aren't for me, though I can now sing soprano parts.

Some interesting books on vinyl. Can't say that I agree that these are all essential for collectors but I will look into a couple for sure (Record Stores, Do not Sell At Any Price). https://thevinylfactory.com/features/25-essential-books-for-record-collectors/

So I had the 009S for a bit but I went and got the modern 007A instead, wow.... Even though in its current state its underdriven (353X) It absolutely smokes every other Stax can I've heard or owned. Way better than the 009S and 009 and a meaningful step up from the L700. I just have to get a proper amp now (haha)

I am not use to these non-In and Out posts... ...enjoy....

After wrapping up the finale last night I am happy to report that the new season is a very welcome return to form! I am such a sucker for a well done detective story and man does this show ever scratch that itch. The three leads are great, the plot is fun, and they really do a good job of laying out the bread crumbs in such a way that the reveals never feel cheap or unearned. It is not a show for everyone. It is intense, pretentious, and convoluted, but if you liked the first season I'd highly recommend this one!

As it turns out...some people are not happy with the Jade.... I'm not sure how this could have happened. Last person on the planet here to defend Hifiman as they produce nothing but garbage...but the headphones are just made from plastic and PCB material. On the inside of the cups, there is a built in mesh into the pads, then we have a grill made from FR4 and doesn't look to have any traces on it. Now it is black so often tricky to see but yeah... doesn't make any sense to put a track on that part. Next up with a have a gap, then the dust cover, then the strengthening rib for the inner stator and finally something electrically conductive, the stator. Now all of this does flex so you could theoretically push your way to the stator but you are still nowhere near the bias. Now the amp is not fundamentally unsafe like the Woo Audio garbage but also not what I'd call safe. The earthing is suspect at best and the amp lacks the right value safety resistors but at least there are some in there. The audio output is AC coupled to the stators so no high voltage DC could be present there. The 1k output resistors would also seriously limit the current if something were to happen...
