One of those "free improvisation" things that skilled jazz people do when are bored and don't know what the fook doing with their time. Not sure it's the best for a Saturday morning Tyshawn Sorey & Marilyn Crispell - The Adornment of Time It will lead somewhere at some point... eventually

Pre power cut Ice Cream at a neighbors. Why run the risk of it melting because of circumstances beyond your control, when you can just eat it instead! Thanks PG&E.

Well, by accident I found Head-Case and “The ultimate DIY? A Stax SRM-T2!” on internet in 2011. Read that thread back and forth several times and I became kind of absorbed by the clone Stax T2. So it’s actually you Craig and Kevin, Birgir, Kerry, INU, et. al. that dragged me into this – I’m very grateful for what you all did to get the DIY T2 possible for armatures like me to build. After managing to build a KGSShv successfully I felt ready for the real thing - DIY T2. Bought boards from Tran and I actually succeeded with this monstrous project and had a working amplifier - at least for a while. Then all kind of problem popped up. Somehow I did fix them but eventually I found it meaningless to continue with that amplifier. Reason for the problems was probably myself (Builder Induced Failure) but it gave me a lot practice. My impression was that the quality of the boards Tran sent me was a the lower end. So I order five high quality amplifier boards. Desolder all the expensive sands including c3381 and used them on a new board. Believe it or not but it succeeded despite reused sands - no popping up failures. Then I started to make some modifications (don’t ask me why – just a bad habit) most of them worked. As I thought I needed an unmodified as reference I built the third T2. Now it felt like - just put the right component in the right position, power on, adjust batteries and you are set. But of course I started to fiddle with the new one as well. After a long hike with my wife this summer. 820 km/ 510 miles in 31 days I felt it is most appropriate to have an original DIY T2 again (I still had three amp boards left). That’s why four.

You guys make me want to go back to play with my CNC again. I haven't touched It for almost 2 years.

Lamb Vindaloo, take 2 -- that's the stuff!

Got sick of cords all over the place. DIY'ed a charging drawer using a cheap conference room table fixture from Amazon. Much cheaper than the commercial products that run around the $300 mark.
