  2. I give up, can’t find a way to significantly shrink it. But this one has four pair output transistor each channel. BIAS servo controlled. Flat on Modushop 300mm x 80 mm heat sink. Project name is CFA3 smd something X4.

  3. Not sure what was wrong with it but there were two very flustered looking young engineers onboard trying to figure things out.

  6. Earlier I made poached eggs, home fries w/onions, sausage and toast. I have silicone cups for poaching eggs that work very well.

  8. W We went to a Mexican joint last night that's famous for how they cook whole cabrito (baby goat...). The charro beans are so good here...solid Thai joint in the same strip center (shopping). Funny story: this rustic joint...is not much to look at made it to the NY Times top 50 this year....I have no clue, but it is one of many a solid Mexican joint in Houston. The wifey had an epiphany and we stopped into Diversion for some craft cocktails on the way home. Always a fun stop if we can sneak in w/o a reservation. The foamy concoction clearly looks like a tiki drink but crafted with agave spirits so nice and smoky. The edibles (on the drink tray...LOL) were entertaining and dessert like tasty. HS

  9. That sounds reasonable in terms of the pots and their action. I couldn't comment on voltage before clipping, but I guess around 2.5Vac for a front end sounds reasonable. Kevin could probably tell you, or maybe the guy building the CFP3s on head-fi (sorry, forgot his name). Glad you found the problem with the opamp socket. That is a strange one.

  10. Well I saw R5 R6 JPEG comparisons, seemed similar, but RAW files seem to behave differently. Tried C1, DXO. Canon's DPP which does the best job but very slow and clunky to use. So staying with LR, it is what it is and the files or certain cameras (mostly older ones) seem to work better than others as far as skin tones are concerned but I guess with enough skill it is possible to overcome it, it just would be much nicer if the journey there wouldn't be unpleasant... I did try some hacked profiles like 1DX / 5D Mk3 Standard/Neutral for the EOS R, sometimes they work. Sometimes.. As a stills-only camera I don't have a lot of requirements, actually. The biggest problem with manual focus is that there likely won't be any pictures of me in the collection... a) Should be FF to match my lenses (or in case of a Fuji GFX, some FF lenses still cover it) b) I do appreciate if it is nimble to shoot with c) RAWs that are nice to edit in LR would be the icing on the cake d) Modern day conveniences like USB-C charging are neat, tilt screen, etc. So even a Leica M9 should be mostly sufficient for with a replaced sensor, but pricey for what it is, other things to note, too, other electronics may fail, over time the rangefinder goes out of whack etc. etc, with the Leica SL2 i give up point b) even if I put small lenses on it, which is inconvenient. As far as a hybrid camera is concerned, it's R5 all the way, with a 24-105/4 combined IBIS+IS it can be considered as a modern-day camcorder equivalent. No matter if the lens is new or vintage, 8k downscaled 4k HQ in-camera looks incredible (polar opposite of phone footage, masses of detail but zero sharpening, colors and contrast just pop without over-emphasis), and it is nice to have 4K 120p as well. R6II also great but not quite the same level (and not the same to handle either), afterwards with an R6 rolling shutter gets too high, etc. Biggest idiosyncrasy is that there is no way to lock AWB (camera does a really good job, just drifts over time), and with the non-calibrated screen and EVF, it is slow and difficult to eyeball it manually.

  14. New contemporary female - pianist. Romance – The Piano Music of Clara Schumann Isata Kanneh-Mason 2019 https://album.link/i/1463178540 Example: A lovely set of recordings of Clara's work (her husband was Robert). I really liked the Romances, and the Scherzo (shared) off of this album over the orchestral works. But all well recorded by Decca. I still think Isata is growing and learning, but I have enjoyed her work.
