Too many reasons this year: Swing Dat Hammer Harry Belafonte 1960 https://album.link/i/1087732644 Example: Still in awe of that voice. RIP Harry - thank you...

I'm not impressed. I had 13 siblings at one time.

Put some walnuts (Texas Walnut aka juglans microcarpa) into simulated winter … aka in my refrigerator. i think it’s pretty cool that walnut trees give off a poison that prevents other plants from growing nearby and competing with it ☠️

Thanks guys. Played some video games tonight in the shop to come up with a small 2x2 brand to go on the boring maple chop.

The avgRPM assignment does a bit of smoothing. There are not a lot of mechanical losses, the belt has reasonable friction on the pulley and platter, so it can alter the platter speed with reasonable accuracy without it acting like a flywheel. I don’t know how much is audible but I can say that +/- 0.03 rpm isn’t audible and it makes adjustments less than this. Gor reference, the added friction of lowering the needle into the groove slows rotation about this amount.

With this 19" 3U case the amp will look like a 100w class-A power amp. A better idea would be to separate the PSU from the amp. Also, 100VA toroids aren't giant, I wouldn't be concerned about mounting them with 4 or more bolts. Depends on how thick the plate is. Dissipante panels are only 1.5mm I think, so this makes sense. Wouldn't be concerned though mounting the 100VA to 3-4mm thick panels. But don't use countersink bolts, only buttheads so you do not weaken the hole. Will be on the underside anyway.

Here they are. Consider 2-storey layout, where CFA boards are mounted on top with each other and to L-brackets on heatsinks. This is what I have in mind for my CFA3 project.

I used modushop dissipante quite a few times. I doubt that you will be able to mount boards on side heatsinks this way. Have you accounted for steel support brackets that take up significant area of the heatsinks, and use of steel chassis on the floor? Since you are mounting transformers on the floor it's good practice to use steel chassis (sold separately) to get extra rigidity.

I went into full out, voice breaking road rage...and didn't kill anyone or run them off the road. Yeah, that's my best right now. (pats self on back)

Rodrigo y Gabriela - In Between Thoughts...A New World. As long as these two keep making albums, I'll keep listening to them! Bought tickets to see them when they come through town this summer.

Boss pulled me aside this morning. Told me that I came in well under the projected budget on the job I finished up about a month ago. He asked me if there was any tool that I hadn't already bought for myself? I told him that the only tool I own that still needs a wall outlet is my table saw. So... I found the best deal on it that I could, and they told me to put it on my company card. And as soon as I ordered it, one of my coworkers offered me $150 for my corded version. Makita doesn't make a cordless table saw, but this will work just fine.

Assembled my balanced Dynahi old version of 2004. Using it with HiFiman HE-6. Sound: entertaining, opened, dancing cheerful. Compared it with beta22. Have only couple of questions: * does it make sence to change main capacitors from Panasonic FC 470uF on Nichicon KG 680uF * DC offset without opamp +-10mV, with opamp OP27 +-2mV. Is it ok, left as is or try to make it better by changing on opa134 or something like this * does it make sence to make some other mods What you think?

Taking away a balcony door on the top floor rental of a home in the Sunset District. Replacing old door with a window. My boss is a stickler for matching the height to the existing window, down to the 1/16". That's the hardest part, especially since the existing window is nothing like the new one. Turned out great. Once the painter is done it'll look like it's always been that way.

RIP Harry Belafonte https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/25/entertainment/harry-belafonte-death/index.html
