RIP Lee and Brian..... RIP to Mr. & Mrs. Cohen, a couple in the Boston area. Saw a news story about them. Married 77+ years, separated only during WW2. Both in a nursing home, vowed to stay with each other to the end. She contacted COVID-19, he did not but still had pneumonia from another issue. With a nurse in PPE and holding each of their hands at times, they stayed together. She died I guess 12 hours after him on the same day. He was 102, she 97. I'm tearing up just typing this.....sad, yet so beautiful.....

I'm not a knife collector or aficionado, but the two pocket knives I have and carry daily are both Benchmade. When I used to go to an office, I carried the Emissary 740, which is smaller and fancier looking in anodized aluminum. For outdoors and working around the house, I have a Mini Barrage 585S with a partly serrated edge. They have both been excellent tools and I haven't had any desire to change or supplement them.

Finished editing the recordings I made at the 2019 Monterey Jazz Festival (2020 in Sept is doubtful at this point). Here's a great blues vocal during the opening "Tribute To Mary Lou Williams" from Jean Baylor and Shamie Royston on piano. Allison Miller was the 2019 Artist in Residence. One of the groups she performed with was Parlour Game with Jenny Scheinman on violin. Snarky Puppy was the last act on the main stage. They tried to teach the audience to clap 4 against 3 during the tune "Xali".

Accuphase E-303.

Wife sent me this one......

Received confirmation from the fab house that our orders are in production (each distinct Gerber file is considered one order). I've opted for boards to be shipped to me in batches when they are ready so we are not all held up by the partially assemble GRHV boards which will take longer than the rest of the PCBs.

Please try to update your LTSpice. It should be in your libs Sorry, for misinformation. Forgot to add it. Please rename to .asy and put it in the same directory as other files. power_nmos_heat.doc also make sure you have this setted to yours location

Nate, another possibility is the Cocktail Audio N15 streamer. Lots of services including Tidal, Qobuz, and Roon. Has analog and digital outs, and a tray for a 2.5" drive. There's one on sale for $399 if you (or if not you, others) are interested, I can send link. I think there's a new "D" revision, the sale one is the old one in the Amazon link above.

I think this guy likes vintage kit.

I've owned the Mini Griptillian which I lost during an airsoft battle and now daily carry a 940. I agree that they aren't a super great value, compared to say Kershaw, but I like the axis lock too much to complain. Generally I find the 940 to be the smallest big knife out there. It's super thin and the S30V steel holds a great edge, but sharpening them is a challenge.

Shit, I'm seeing birds everywhere. Gotto lay off the PRS.

I ate his liver ... oh hang on just a minute, thrash metal! Lockdown is clearly having an effect on 82 year old Sir Anthony

Devs... yaaa...um... watched it to kill time & now wish I had that time back... p.s. Alison Pill should be in less things...

Ahh, does she know you are sharing this photo with us? Shouldn't it be "private"?

Listening now. I liked it too.

The "gold badge" Adcom stuff was their best. My first ever separate power amp was a (close to) cube-shaped Adcom GFA-1A. Punchy little thing, good power and decent (based on memory) sound.....

Oh, man. I have some happy early 90s memories of Adcom kit.

With one episode left to go in this penultimate season, this show remains an absolute delight. IMO it is one of the best shows currently on TV. I'll be sad when it is over and done.

^^^ Same here! I had some exchanges with Art when he was at Listener, I was travelling to Israel at the time and it was a dangerous time with Iraq. He was such a great guy, and I loved his approach to writing and reviewing. His first concern was of the safety of this total stranger.... RIP Art, and fuck cancer!

RIP Art. Listener will probably always be my favorite audio rag. I think that I still have copies in a box somewhere.

Two completely different creature, cant compare as if between two lambda models. The most obvious difference would be the soundstage. Its like a Jazz cafe VS a cathedral. The L700 sigma still holds lambda-level detail and transparency, unlike the original sigma. But the detail and the high frequency on the l700 sigma are just not as apparent as the L700.

Here's my KGSSHV build to offset all the fantastic, professional-looking ones posted in this thread (milling your own front plate?!). I had an old computer case lying around, so used that as the chassis. Thanks a lot to Spritzer. I started with his kit and BOM, and then exchanged about a hundred emails with him. I lowered the values of the pull-down resistors on the amp boards to eliminate hum. Other than that, the thing worked the first time. The player is a HiBy R6Pro, and I'm listening with Koss ESP/95X phones from Massdrop.

What is that hooked shape tool used here, or what is a good substitute for it?
