Hey sacd_lover here. Have not been on the board in years. See lots of names I know .... tkam, kevin gilmore, mexican dragon, blessingx, Dusty Chalk etc... Hope everybody has been well. Just picked the latest thread to reintroduce myself.

The brined turkey breast roasted nicely. And went well with all the trimmings.

It's December 25th, so I'm listening to my project that I wrote for today 2 years ago (it's drone/dark ambient/noise, so don't even bother if that doesn't sound like anything you listen to): Also, Chris Meloche, Recurring Dreams of the Urban Myth, the album that heavily inspired it (also Wubworld, but I didn't listen to that today, I was a little droned out) : https://silentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/recurring-dreams-of-urban-myth Also, more Placebo, Mt. Mountain, Yuragi, Porter Robinson, Holy Monitor, and Flyying Colours.

I am 65 1/2 now and I can hear to about 13,500hz per audicus. I enjoy my gear and music as much as I ever have. I must admit to being treble sensitive and I am still just as annoyed with treble grain and especially sibilance. Some of the new stuff is so good and inexpensive. Monoprice M1070 planar on sale, Schitt Audio Modi multibit, Cavalli Liquid spark. I still use a modded Sony 9100ES/ SACD-DVD player I bought from tkam 10+years ago as my transport for CD's and for SACD's.

Have an incredible day!

^ We watched that too. What a high quality, high class show.

The Repair Shop Christmas Special. I really wish that we got this show on a regular basis here in the states. It's one of my favorite shows.

Have a very Happy Birthday Joachim! 🥂🍻🍰

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

^ as is my Marantz SA1.

^ I still use my Modwright Denon 3910 Universal Truth Mod for SACD. I think it was from the same era.

Happy Satanmas to you all!

Well, Merry Christmas to all the Ceasars too!

Merry Christmas, Al and all the other HCers!

Thanks everyone. Gifts (new Marin bike for Esmé) and holiday music at home and now jumping on the road to go to Mel’s parents. Birthday cake, apple pie, cheesecake, and who knows what else awaits (besides sugar crash). Hope anyone is having a wonderful Xmas.

Joyeux Noël from Paris Head-case! #NFLO

Thanks everyone. I had a nice day and nice evening with my birds and cat. Hope you all are doing well.

Merry caffeinating! Sipping an Onyx Framily ala Chemex. Tasty Ethiopian. HS

Lower capacitance is better. And in this context I want to ask another question to all: I want to use AlN thermal pads for the transistors with 1mm thikness instead 1.6mm AlO. It adds a few picofarads to a capacitance between a metal tab and the ground. Is it ok ?

ciss of 1350pf work, yes. sound good, unlikely.

They're just calzones, innit.
