So, what are the odds - found someone in my neighborhood listing a twelve channel Dayton Audio amplifier that they aren’t sure if it works. I picked it up for $50. If it works, that would be wonderful. If not, we’ll, it sure is heavy. I am hoping to have a bit of fun with my audio testing gear tomorrow!

Pork and veal meatballs with a garlic cream sauce and (sinful) pasta.

I'm not sure if any fellow audio "old timers" remember Sound Practices magazine that Joe Roberts used to publish, but after it died he made a cd of them available. Someone on the Ampex listserve asked for a copy and I uploaded it to my Google Drive. So, if anyone one here wants a copy,.. https://drive.google.com/open?id=15o63ZZ10y7gpp0Pu4K2NrbbB0uis3o88

Damn it Brent! how many times have I warned you about pulling your pork on the forum! And Andrew...My invitation to dinner must have gotten lost in the mail. Sinful pasta was my drag name back in the day.

Oh, Alton.

Phil produced the entire album. That's the song they used when I auditioned my first decent pair of headphones (Yamaha YH-1000).

We got up to our place in Maine, is good to be away from the same walls. Took a ride into Kennebunkport, and was pretty disappointed to see most people NOT wearing masks either, despite signs all over the place with guidelines saying to do so. Karen would step FAR away from people if we passed them, I think some got the idea but didn't give a shit. But we did get to see some good ocean views, and got some decent food for tomorrow's lunch. We'll order and do curbside tonight. I'll be back home tomorrow but Karen will likely stay one more night. Good for her soul! Pic from Cape Porpoise.....

Far too hung over for the dirt bike, so taking the car over the pass to Tahoe seemed like a great way to kill time. The whole mask thing didn't seem too popular up at incline village. I was really surprised.

changed size of cap cfp3rssfixedss - CADCAM.ZIP

any ac voltage on the filament? likely the regulators are on the verge of dropping out of regulation. is your 230v about 3% low?

Late last night into this morning, watched one of my favourite bands do a livestream (mostly) right. They did a really good job of recreating the live experience. And then I got to Zoom with them afterwards! That was all kinds of awesome. I even got to bond with one of them for several seconds over my Event Horizon background. Sound is awful during the first half of the concert, but they fixed it during the intermission, so if you're going to watch any of this, start at about -1:49:07 for the second viewing of the world premier of the "new normal" video for their cover of Ordinary World or go straight to -1:43:25 for the start of the second half of their set. Initially, I wasn't going to participate in the Zoom, just "lurk", but they were so warm and inviting that I ended up participating a little. But I was a little inebriated, so I also embarrassed myself a little bit (no Cartman pajamas, though, not that bad). https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=270319837705987&ref=watch_permalink

Happy Birthday, Brent! Maybe for all our sakes you should stick to pandemic appropriate substitutes for the moment.

5lbs of home made bacon. 10 days to make. 5 days cure. 5 days rest. Cooked up first test slices.. it is nice, with no bad stuff in it. It is a touch salty, but can refine the cure in the future. Followed this guy, we use to watch the show. And we have his books. Cheers And bacon on...

I dunno if I've mentioned this before, but I'm a crazed redneck who lives in the woods. I have an artesian well and the groundwater here is hard as a black metal album. I have not one but two filters between it and what I drink. The first is a grit filter, the second is a taste & odor (charcoal) filter. They needed to be changed when I locked myself in 9 weeks ago, and I was out of spares Today I arranged pickup of new filters and replaced them. This is what the grit filter looked like when I removed it: The filters are pure white when new. For two decades, I have snarkily referred to the filter swapping process as "changing the house's tampon" because I haven't matured terribly much in the last ~35 years. Mr. Frog was not at all impressed the proceedings.

Why are you changing those caps? Any of the claims out there that this cap sound like this and this one is good for this spot... it is all bullshit. This is a niche circuit so special care has to be taken when picking caps for that.

should be 12.6 vac rms measured blue to blue should be 8.5 vdc on that cap. should be 6.3 vdc after the regulators measured at the tube filaments. everything referenced to -350V

so you did not get the information you wanted over there, and now you come here. nice. from pictures elsewhere, the transformer winding is blue-black-blue and is 12.6v center tap, 2 diodes to capacitor full wave bridge. This is the filament supply and has high current ripple. The cap you have chosen is completely wrong for the job. All the original caps were chosen for a reason, if they are not dead then you should not be replacing them. And you should be careful touching that cap with the power on, as its sitting at -350v.

Last night we made pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, scallion, garlic hot peppers, pancetta and egg. Tonight, I made this recipe and really enjoyed it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/magazine/punjabi-red-beans-recipe.html

The cheapest Memphis is almost double the Traeger and the WAF is already going to be WAY low on this.

What, not fighting to the death with your bare hands over a piece of gear you both were interested in? This isn't the Head-Case I know.

RIP, Jerry Sloan, 78, who apparently had Parkinson's and failing health for a number of years. Legendary defensive minded guard for the Chicago Bulls who went on to have a successful NBA coaching career with the Utah Jazz. By all accounts, a good man.
