Nice @n_maher! The 30 fps is glorious. How do you like it thus far?
Drove up to NYC to help Julie move out as she finished her 3rd year rotations for medical school. Exceptionally difficult light in the parking under the building. The A7 did quite well here, I think. Taken with a Batis 85/1.8.
Stopped by in Virginia to visit with my sister and tried playing with the Batis 135/2.8. Failed miserably but got a somewhat cool extremely close crop.
In color.
finished my cfa3 this week, thanks kevin gilmore for the desing and the support from the forum members.
running on +-30v with moderat bias, changed the gain resistors to 3.2k for lower gain.
needed some 3d printed parts so that all fit fine, a cfa3 in a quad 405 chase. no pot this time, i use a dac with volume control or a preamp.
after all amps i build i think the best solution for a 1 case build ist mounting the trafos outside in vertical position, absolut no magnetic hum inducted. i also added grain oriented metal band around the trafos inside the trafo cases.
RIP Goldie. May her memory be a blessing.
My dad was also the last of his generation and he lived to 98. I hope you also have more good years with him.

RIP legendary music producer Jack Douglas. Longtime listeners will know I have a fetish for the sound of 70s analogue productions. Aerosmith (a band that I find to be a curiosity at best) posted these photos on their official FB page:
That console is a thing of beauty.
RIP to my aunt, Gladys "Goldie" Schultz, 87.
She was an amazing woman, very calm and logical, yet with a deep compassion and a wonderfully dry sense of humor (I was recently told she was a tiny bit on the spectrum, makes sense now). She was an early woman in tech, mother of 3 wonderful kids, and so much more. She will be missed....and my dad is now the last living person from that generation....
She now joins her husband, my Uncle Ron.
