unloaded some wood.

I would say it’s a modified KGSShv or Carbon with T2 style current sources at outputs. My intention is +/-400V but +/-450V will be OK as 2SA1968 is a 900V device (I think). Schematically it looks like this. I’ve saved the old, now hard to find, transistors from my first built electrostatic amplifier - an onboard heat sinks KGSShv.

HE HAS RETURNED

How to play funk clav (he got the funk):

Ok, one asshat has been given a timeout. If further are required I'll get out the .

My partner has gotten into watches a bit (I should never have given her that Timex last year, literally just off my coffee table where I had forgotten I had thrown it), and I bought a Tissot Lovely Square for her. The packaging is trying way too hard. The thing on top is a 280 page illustrated history of Tissot, which is included with a catalog that is basically a miniature coffee-table book. I wonder if anybody has ever read that history of Tissot. I bet she'll like it, being a literature professor and all. I also got a Seiko "Tank" for her, which is a surprisingly hard watch to get considering how cheap they are (and holds up surprisingly well compared to my mother's 40 year old Must de Cartier Tank, though it's not quite as nice as my mother's 45 year old Seiko "Tank" that was the first watch my father ever bought her, and which had a similar price retail). She likes wearing my Reverso and my Santos, so I figured square-ish and different would be good choices. The large Santos fits her surprisingly well, with a bunch of links removed (she is tiny), but I figured something smaller would be a good idea for daily wear. Also she can't have my Santos.

Oh look another shill spouting bullshit with no evidence. Next time please try Facebook or Twitter.

Well, that clears that up!

while not Bryan they are like super hot (you pick the gender) angels licking your ears and caressing your brain all at the same time

Another rough-ass demo of a song I plan to record properly soon.

I stayed up waaay to late last night and watched season 1 of Shetland. (It's only two episodes.) Shetland is a fascinating part of the world for me. It's halfway between Scotland and the Nordic countries geographically and culturally. The accents are as thick as a pony's mane, so all praise to subtitles. The end of season 1 kind of fell apart (as many made for TV tales have a tendency to do) but I quite liked everything leading up to it.

Just watched the first two episodes of this new series on EPIX. It's based on the book 6 Days of the Condor. An interesting cast to be sure. Some new people and a lot of actors that haven't really been seen in a while. I found it worthy of a few more episodes at least.

Yes, and now I want a Vibanet! And he's so good at playing. Going to watch more of his videos.

I find that if I leave the last ounce or so in the cup most of that sludge drop and stays there. HS

His videos are completely addicting (once you start,..)!

I just make about an ounce more than I want, and pour slowly, when using a french press.

Want!!!

Yeah, some sludge is virtually unavoidable on a french press. If you're interested in something in-between that and a paper filter (where the oils and resulting body do get reduced) I've heard good things about cloth filters. I found out about this through James Hoffman's channel; here's a link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_I3ZVKKb4 OTOH you could consider experimenting with sifters, but cloth filters will be more worth it IMO.

I finally got around to giving Apple Tv+ a try and I'm loving Servant. I don't know if I'd say that the acting is top notch but the casting and the quirky characters all the principles have applied to their parts really tickles me in all the right spots (particularly Rupert Grint and Lauren Ambrose who I love-love-loved in Six Feet Under). If you haven't grabbed your 1 week freebie, give it a try.

I loved the movie, I'll have to give it a shot

What does the KGSSHV have to do with your actual Shilly statement about the ES1A? I guess you’re simply a dense shill. Perhaps you need to be blockaded.

I think a welcome message in YouTube format would work better.

Plowed through the seven fun episodes

Very nice! That's a fully formed song, and you've only been doing this for how many months? Unrelated: has anyone used this? I'm tempted to get it just to get "that sound". https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/channel-strips/neve-88rs-collection.html

Due to The Power of Suggestion, I had brisket (sourced from non-brisket-fairy, “Dixie Bones”).

Nor sure where to post this. Sorry for polluting. 4 x 2SC4686, 2 x 2SA1968 and 2 x 2SA1486. Rest of the parts from Mouser except LSK389. Two trimmers, no servos. Does it work? – that is to be seen, or heard.

well if you want to be that way 🙂 super detailed with to be accurate tone and timbre, extremely fast. I liked the bass in that is went low enough for my tastes rock and jazz but was tight with detail (think being able to tell the difference between a fender jazz bass of p bass) I regret selling these to Raffy but you can't own all the headphones they were not peaky to me but one persons detailed is another peaky. Also F these new fuckers they also sound like this

If you find a wealthy enough customer, Ebony mills like a dream.

My own top is quickly moving toward a similar weight.

I told the realtor I would take the 3 car garage with the shop above but did not need the house. They did not think the owner would go for that.

Visited an open house down the street. Should I try to buy all of this?

Pretty much only thing I have worn over the pandemic.

It's not far from the gay bathhouse in Berkeley, so if you were so inclined, you could get smoked meat and get your meat smoked in one convenient trip.

all 009's are treble happy headphones. 009 is overwhelmingly treble happy, 009S has slightly better control in treble range. I don't know about 009BK. Just buy ES1A. It's better in every way.(only except imaging and that's just a slight difference).
