Some folks “over there” seem interested in Kevin’s Tube Hybrid. So, I removed a lot of small components from CFA3smd boards and replaced them with dual triode and double op amp. All according to info I found in Kevin’s library on google drive. It should all fit in the same box as CFA3smd. PSU needs additional voltages, 5- and 100-volt sections and filament for tubes.

Oat flour works, too

Oh darn, lots of reviews say it is a scam. 😆

Ping-ponged up a sign out of HDU for a friend.

Or you can go Doug's route and carefully & humanely milk a Yak. Ferment that milk for 72.5 days. Add 1 part nasal secretions of a virgin Nutria, then thicken with organic almond flour.

My knowledge of beavers is remarkably limited.

I didn't like the last hey-i've-just-learned-to-play-the-piano-let's-do-lounge album but this one is quite good.

Nemophila Discography Run (not saying much, they only have 2.5 albums) followed by Placebo Discography Run (yes, including the B-sides and covers)

Someone on the Boston Bruins hockey forum posts the Peanuts "dance" video after wins, and someone replied with this alternate version....methinks @dsavitsk might like and/or have seen this. EDIT: and there's a Dead Kennedy's version as well 😊

I won one of the “useful” AliExpress tools James Hoffman reviewed a few weeks ago. No idea which, but I’ll report back! Loving the Dual Boiler/Niche combo, with no real additional need to spend more, but I’ll take free coffee crap happily.

This is pretty good. Stanley Tucci is excellent.

needed to invert the signal to the integrator. a non-inverting integrator did not have enough voltage gain.

Below is Tube Hybrid schematic. Why op amp U3?

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth Rick Wakeman 2014 https://song.link/i/873134907 Example - well, the entire album: A newer recording of an old prog classic of mine. I like this version, I still prefer the original, but it is a good telling and recording.

A guy down the street is doing a permeable gravel driveway with these plastic hex squares that get secured down with pegs in a grid. Not sure if that is what you meant but check out similar systems if you are looking to hold loose rock in place.

Saw my favorite band (or the lead singer Mark Burgess and other non-original members) The Chameleons last night. Met the guitarist in the Mexican restaurant next door, had a nice chat. Got to meet up with several folks I know from FB-land, one couple came from about 2 hours away! Fun times! After their set, Mark came out and was chatting with a bunch of us at the Merchandise table. I got this idea - having had my son with me to see his two-person live show recently - to ask him to wish my son a happy birthday for next month. Mark was awesome to oblige, and I have a nice video I will send Andrew on his BDay!

yes, for short term testing, e.g. for checking output voltages, voltage regulation etc. (P.S. its also possible to test the grlv with no heatsink with no load.)

^^ So many "looks" there.....indeed, what memories!

I think Stax use the new Tung Sol GTB in the 700T so that is new production. Whether you can get them anymore... I'm not sure as they are made in Russia. As for the voltage, the GTB tops out at 450V so it's better than the regular version but still a long way from the 6S4A etc. There is also the 6BL7 but no new production that I know of.

RIP Ray Guy, Oakland/LA Raiders punter. Loved watching him when I was a Raiders fan back in the '70s/'80s https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ray-guy-dies-at-72-raiders-legend-first-punter-inducted-into-pro-football-hall-of-fame-passes-away/
