So far, I'm happy with the Strega, with no bad shots pulled (out of 8). I'm not convinced I can pull a better shot with it than with the decent, so eventually I'll put them side by side and see.

Synth nerd humor.

Bumbled my way through mounting some Blum BluMotion hinges. Not sure the hammer was the best tool to get them in there, but it worked.

A few years ago I replaced 2sj79 and 2sk216 with ksa1220 respective ksc2690 on both Blue Hawaii and T2 and that without changing any voltages. Below chart show voltage cross source and drain on T2´s Q26,Q27 during power on, 30 second wait and power off. So far I haven’t had any ksa1220 or ksc2690 blowing up. Today I reduced voltage further on my T2 PSU, 300V section now 200V. Seems to work as good as with 300V. High voltages are now +/-400V, +220V, -260V and -460V. The reduce voltage also lowered the maximum voltage on graph above to 200V

Fun comparison, grawk. Look forward to more reviews. I've been enjoying my Bianca. What I did not appreciate was the complexity on grinds given different beans and the impacts from aging. I also cleaned out my Nice Zero thoroughly and it seems to have shifted the grinds from their usual measures such that my Chemex pour over grind now needs to be more coarse...interesting stuff. The Onyx Advent calendar continues to impress. I should have been finished with the coffee by now but went sideways with the espresso machine so some good coffees left to explore into the New Year. HS
