That's not too bad. Colin's never even learned how to stay within half a mile of his team in KF. Or how to heal other players.

Real world impressions and benchmarks for pro audio and post production audio with the new Mac Pro's are trickling in. It seems like audio professionals are opting for the 16 core processors and installing OWC ram so their machines are clocking in at the $8k range. The benchmarks in Logic and Cubase are pretty astonishing compared to the 2013 dust bins. I haven't seen any direct comparisons to the top of the line iMac Pro's but those aren't that much less and they are not user upgradeable. Just a handful of buyers in the virtual composer communities so far but there are quite a few doing the "wait and see" to decide on configurations they should order. Here's a video of 850 instances of Absynth.

I played a Normal game as an L6 Zerk, and I was really bad. It took me half the game to remember how to use voice commands and throw weapons. I never figured out how to SELL weapons.

Happy birthday, Knucks! When are you going to start gaming again?

For some reason that made me think of this

If interested in the story of good old tubes, I recommend Guide to the EL34/6CA7 by Pasquale Russo. Also some information on the KT77. 365 pages of interesting stuff.

The JJ KT77 datasheet states the tube as an "A. F. beam pentode" and shows a drawing of internal construction that looks like a pentode with the third grid internally connected to the cathode. But the base connection diagram shows pin 1 and 6 as not connected. Both the current and old production Genalex KT77 datasheets state the tube as a "beam tetrode" and the base connection diagram shows pin 1 and 6 as not connected just like the JJ KT77. There is no drawing of internal structure on either datasheet. Every thing I have read so far on the web refer to KT77 as a tetrode constructed similar to a 6L6. The JJ 6CA7 datasheet on the other hand has internal structure drawing of a pentode with the third grid connected to pin 1 and states the tube as an "A. F. output pentode". Yet the photo of the actual tube is a "fat boy" type big bottle similar to the Sylvania, GE and EH 6CA7 which are all true tetrode. You got to love this tube business...

Great to hear you are on the road to recovery, Jose! Well, other than the downer on sex that is ?‍♂️?‍♀️?

Did he ever really do better than this? IMHO, this is -- far and away -- his masterpiece. I know people worship Richard D. James Album and Druqks, but nothing he did on those was as mind-blowing as this was to my 31-year-old brain (actually, probably 32 by the time I heard it, I was not exactly "in the know").
