Hey HC Team, Thanks again for all the support last year for our 2nd chance walk fundraiser. We raised just over $10,000, which was amazing! The event and walk were just lovely. We had a break in the weather and had a great day. Engaging with the community and sharing our vision of 'a world where everyone belongs.' We are back at it again. We have renamed our walk (and new logo) the - Walk for Belonging - walk4belonging - as a part of April's Second Chance Month. I continue to work as a member of the Board of Directors for Communities of Belonging as the Secretary/Treasurer - as well as the defacto IT and figure-it-out person. We just recently launched our new website, after about 5 months of redesign. CommunitiesofBelonging.org (let me know if you find anything wonky) I am proud of the work that we are doing. We are really helping people bridge the gap and re-enter society after a bout of homelessness, incarceration or addiction. We hope to continue to grow and help as many people as we can. If you are willing and have the means to help me out, I would be most humble for your generosity, as I have in the past. You can donate without registering for the walk: https://givebutter.com/Walk4Belonging/michaelmaddock Cheers all, Mikey (back to listening to music, and all the other things)

Chisels came in, made a little holder for them. Now to spend a week attempting to sharpen. Fuck you Rob Cosman.

Done. Best of luck!

Done. Go Mikey!!

Done! Good luck!

I can usually judge my day by how many batteries I need to pull from the box. Today is a busy day.

I think the 10k trimmer balances the P and N arms of the input stage, hence reduces the input bias current of the amp. Too much input bias current could cause a scratchy volume pot over time. The adjustment is outside of the servo feedback loop therefore needs to be adjusted separately. I would leave the volume pot to max or disconnect the pot, adjust the trimmer to minimize the voltage across the input resistor (100k) or across the volume pot, after the amp is fully warmed up.

It was never lost. I also found several interconnects, including my pair of Pure Silver Sound interconnects that were all the rage oh so long ago. I do remember them sounding better than the others, but not sure why -- capacitance?

I noticed that too. I’m kind of surprised there isn’t an anti popcorn disc, as it works great on the NZ. Seems like a no-brainer. There must be a reason.

Electronc tag ( aka "ankle bracelet" ) "Some prisoners can be released early. This allows them to live at home and to work during the final weeks of their sentence. They will be given an electronic tag, which is a small device fitted to the ankle or wrist. Tagging is a way of monitoring where you are and how you keep to your tagging conditions.

Big girls can get jiggy too! HS

Go big or go home.

We did release the full schematics so yeah... it might be a clone. A clone of a terrible amplifier...

It is a mix. The other works with Nicolas Stocker have a different tone. I like it all, but prefered the solo works by Areni Agbabian more.

Put the final coat on the top and the first in the gap stop.

Giving it a try. Doing the annual switch from Qobuz to Apple Music for a month and seeing if it will take this time (with added classical organization).
