Forgot to post my shrimp and grits from last night. And the peppermint brownies Claire made for dessert

A matching caddy to hold all of my turntable paraphernalia.

I managed to get this working in Proteus. Headphone protector. A combination of Kevin’s comparator based protector and Stax delay circuit. Delay time set by C1/R8. LED D1 is blinking when relay is disengaged and steady when engaged. The screenshot shows U1 detecting an error – relay disengaged and LED is blinking…

Nice woofer..... 😊

Hi, been lurking for a while but finally signed up! Quick background on my gear: I'm in the Stax ecosystem with an L700(Mk1), SR-3, and an SRM-003. I also have a D10 and T1S, the latter of which was on a shelf unused in the original box for 25 years or so and last year I bought it. I'm still planning to recap it and upgrade it with the constant current mod, but that's to come soon. In the meanwhile, I came across a curiosity online, a homemade normal-bias tube amp. No real info provided, but it was a reasonable price so I took the shot in the dark, and I don't have the electronics knowledge to grok what I'm looking at. Can anyone more educated help me?

Looks like a DIY version of an early STAX unit. Whatever it is, it is really nicely made with high quality components. The ceramic tagstrips are the ones used in 1960's Tektronix tubed oscilloscopes, which is a sign that the builder was very aware of their quality in a point-to -point wired build.

Almost as bad,,,Samsung Galaxy. I continue to resist the dark side Apple

Nice change of scenery. Last year we had brushfire smoke blocking the view, today we have this. Hard to believe we are in the Los Angeles suburbs.

Don't know how much that cost to produce,.. But it was worth it!!!!

Yup, that's the SRX circuit.

For security reasons I see missing series c.a 5 kΩ resistors with output capacitors.

I hadn't heard anything about a new version but I might pick one up and try it out. Always an excuse...
