Does this photo even need commentary?

Yeah buddy!

^^ well record pretty song... thx

Yesterday was a fun one despite the heat here in TX. A friend invited me to go to the track with him for open test and tune. He's a member at MSR south of Houston. Nice facility where I've run before...over 2 miles and between 15-20 turns....some slow and some quite fast. Can be run clockwise or counter and they were running clockwise. After the rains there was a lot of water off track, but the track had dried nicely before any runs. 30 minutes for cars and 30 minutes for bikes. Good open track program. He first took us out in his 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 sporting Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s. Stick shift car. Naturally aspirated six cylinder. What a great drive. He pushed it but not overly hard as the car is just too darn nice to go off track with when there's standing water. Super balanced and I'd have to give the rubber a thumbs up for a street legal tire. Perhaps not the best tire, but very solid. All the nannies were shut off and the car is about as low tech as you can get. Great feedback from the road and damn was it balanced. Great power, braking, etc... What impressed me the most was how forgiving it is of road nasties while still providing great feedback. Super impressed. Sits a bit low to drive around town IMO so I'd be leary of using it as a daily or taking it up a steep driveway / curb. The MX-5 Cup car was what we really came to have fun in. This one has a couple of years on it so it's not the brand new upgraded motor, but it's a fun little ride and a true road car. This one we pushed hard, especially when a friend that had just blown a motor and replaced it with the new one came on the track for a challenge. Great fun! It's only a matter of time and money, right....LOL HS

Agreed on the heat (full size vs. mini). I really don't view the MPSWs as being a problem though. Rough install... if I do this, I will attempt to get everything aligned all nice and purdy... I don't know for sure, but in my current estimation, the minis I've built sound better than the full size My full size is running at 17-18mA bias. Perhaps I've gone too far?

I took a stab at Mouser BOMs for the diamond_buffer and unbal_2_bal SMD boards. Can someone kindly enough to check and correct the BOMs? Many thanks! **** Edit **** The below lists hadd these changes (thanks to mypasswordis!): LED from 2V to 1.9V 300-Ohm LED resistors from 250-Ohm 0.1uf C2/C3/C7/C8 caps to 0603 package 10uF C1/C4 to X7R Other note: OP27G U1/U2 can be changed to other op-amp ************** Unbal_2_bal SMD Mouser # Description Order Qty. 757-2SC3324BLTE85LF Bipolar Transistors - BJT Audio Freq Low Audio Freq Low 7 757-2SA1312BLTE85LF Bipolar Transistors - BJT PNP Trans -0.1A LN -120V VCEO 7 284-APC1206B1K00N Thin Film Resistors - SMD 1KOhm 0.1% 1206 25 PPM 4 667-ERA-8AEB103V Thin Film Resistors - SMD 1206 10Kohm 0.1% 25ppm 12 667-ERA-8AEB132V Thin Film Resistors - SMD 1206 1.3Kohm 0.1% 25ppm 2 647-UWX1E101MCL1 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors - SMD 25volts 100uF 8x5.4 20% 2 584-OP27GSZ-R Precision Amplifiers LOW-NOISE PREC IC 2.8V/uS 2 581-06033C104K4T4A Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors MLCC - SMD/SMT 25V .1uF X7R 4 710-885012209028 Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors MLCC - SMD/SMT 2 710-150120SS75000 Standard LEDs - SMD WL-SMCW SMDMono TpVw Waterclr 1206 4 603-RT1206BRD07300RL Thin Film Resistors - SMD 1/4W 300 ohm .1% 25ppm 6 Diamond_buffer SMD Mouser # Description Order Qty. 649-68016-404HLF Headers & Wire Housings 4POS R/A HDR SnPb 1 279-CPF1206B10RE1 Thin Film Resistors - SMD CPF 1206 10R 0.1% 25PPM 1K RL 4 279-CPF1206B24R9E1 Thin Film Resistors - SMD CPF 1206 24R9 0.1% 25PPM 1K RL 2 756-PCF1206R-20KBT1 Thin Film Resistors - SMD .125W 20K ohm 0.1% 25ppm 1 757-2SC3324BLTE85LF Bipolar Transistors - BJT Audio Freq Low Audio Freq Low 4 757-2SA1312BLTE85LF Bipolar Transistors - BJT PNP Trans -0.1A LN -120V VCEO 4 710-150120SS75000 Standard LEDs - SMD WL-SMCW SMDMono TpVw Waterclr 1206 2 603-RT1206BRD07300RL Thin Film Resistors - SMD 1/4W 300 ohm .1% 25ppm 6
