    I collected these from an old Mag series (Liberty and others). I thought I would just create a fun dump of them. They are full of sexism, misogyny and racism enjoy... All I have... yet....

    You have to take your hat off to JK Rowling. She was a mother from a short lived marriage, on benefits (IOW dirt poor), and clinically depressed while she was writing the first book, Philosopher's Stone. Now, 22 years after the first print run of 1000 copies of that first book, and aged only 53, she has a net worth of $1Bn.

    All the members are anonymous, but the singer sounds identical to Niilo from Insomnium.

    For a gift my mother bought me tickets to the Cursed Child play, which is coming to SF this fall. I had never read the books or seen the movies so I figured it was time pick them up from the library and see what the deal was with the cultural phenomenon I basically bypassed. I'm through the first three books. I can now see why people like them. They are well done, entertaining, and super accessible. While they won't go on my list of favorite books they have been more than good enough for me to finish the series.

    history lesson (unless birgir says otherwise) As far as I can tell the first stax amplifier to use differential cascode circuit is the srm-1 first introduced in 1979 long before hifiman was even a company

    The srm-001 is an opamp driving a fet that drives a transistor (cascode) into a load resistor and is cap coupled to the output. (cascode differential) The jade2 is an opamp driving a transistor that drives a mosfet (cascode) into a load resistor and is cap coupled to the output. The calculation of output capacitance is flat out wrong as the middle of the cascode is AC ground. (cascode differential) Just about identical. Obviously the jade2 consumes a bunch more power and puts out a bunch more power. I own 2 hifiman products. Both are built like shit. I'm unlikely to buy hifiman products ever again.

    This is totally off topic but I don't think we have a catchall Apple thread and it's just darn cool. Won't get one myself but love how they sweat the details. https://www.arun.is/blog/apple-card/

    The circuit is more like the srm-001 blown up by a bunch. So opamps input, solid state version of grounded grid output stage, resistor loaded, and capacitor coupled output. Positively ancient design by any standard. Did not even replace the power resistors with current sources. Saying that the output capacitance is that low because the two devices are in series clearly shows no understanding on how that design works. And the series output inductors are not a great idea either. The headphones may be decent, I don't know because I have not heard them, but there are so many decent headphone amps out there that buying the hifiman version seems like a waste of money.

    I replied to a gent on H-F, a nice old-timer I remembered, who asked me about my experience with the DSHA3F. Hoping it resulted in another order.....! (Very late edit: it did!)

    RIP my king of cats Cheese, who was struck by a car this morning. I'm in a completely awful state - I'll miss him so much.
