Thank you ! And yeah, I just have them spared laying around when my newphew did some cooking for his graphic cards. So extra doesn't hurt :). I can not believe how good this Carbon and 009 is. Approaching my endgame !

This finally came to Hartford this weekend. It is excellent. The cats are delightful, the people are awesome, the city is lovely.

Just got the boards back for the GR78/9xx boards. They look good. I'm hoping to have them built up next weekend.

You are always welcome here Doug! Btw I'm a grandfather now!!!!! He (as I see) is really healthy, his mom and dad loves him. We love Him too.

I wouldn't say that it was bad, just different.

Just like Carbon we built. Same box, same PS. Relay=120s. Separated filament transformer.

I'm single again, as of tonight. Yay.

Not up to the Head-Case level but did a test drive of a maxed out 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-door limited. Will probably be the replacement for our Outback in a few months.

I've got my controller boards working pretty well now with the digital attenuators. I like the larger one because it has a really nice feel as you turn the volume knob (...yes I see it ). I went and added a USB input to the board itself, though this is really overkill - which is why I did it. Here I'm updated with the TX / RX LEDs blinking away. EDIT: I've got to do one more round of cleaning...

@torpedo : I tried a bunch of foam tips . not Silicon one. issue was mostly than results was a bit all over the place. Depending on the cut and the fit , the results could differ quite significantly. that's why I understood it was a kinf of dead end. I began then to experiment a few things that's more in line with the current SDR. When I achieved my goal to have something that looks almost "HD800S like" with the current state of the mod, I stopped to experiment anything else. That's was "enough" for me. the SDR works specifically on the 5-6khz range. Other mods induce different "benefits . all worth a try imo although I personaly use only a SDR. I'm fine with the result for what I listen to mostly.

Here's the code. Just rename the PDF to Zip and expand it into a folder under your .../Documents/Arduino directory. The code works well now, though there are a few things I'd like to keep working on. It will drive one of the I2C 1" OLED displays. I typically comment this out at line 101 in the main program (EDIT since I don't use the display in the amp)... // If not using display just don't create it activeOLED = new OLED (128, 64,SSD1306); // I2C Display //activeOLED = new OLED (128, 64,SH1106, OLED_MOSI, OLED_CLK, OLED_DC, OLED_RESET, OLED_CS); // 1.3" SPI Display I'm happy to keep working on it. I can post the Gerber files as well at some point. VolumeController.pdf -> rename to VolumeController.zip EDIT: I just wanted to add a note that this will work on an Arduino UNO or Pro Mini. Pretty much anything with an Atmel 328P. Could probably support other chips as well. EDIT 2: This code will run the older and larger I2C boards (requires a slight code change) as well as version .4 and .5 of the current SPI boards.

Oops. Sorry . French bad english spotted

I think you've been behaving more chilly than shilly.

Great job Vince!!! Super happy on your first KGSSHV Carbon.

Well done. Happy for you that everything worked out in the end.

Nice. Enjoy [emoji2]

were.

Yea. Someone who takes profit of the idea. I myself propose to make them for anybody who don't want to to do it themselves. http://superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/superdupont-resonator-summary-and-interest-check.1558/ Last words for me about this mod. I don't want people think I'm here to promote my business.

Nice! Seems you are using small heat sinks on 10m90s, dn2540, op27...? IMO absolutely not necessary. And yes - opto sevo is the SERVO to use.

Yay! I got music ! I retuned the amp after 30-40 min where the offset drift back and forth instead of cold start. Bias 585V offset 15.75 Balance 200-300 mV current is around 17-18mA ! Playing it safe i only need to wait for all my sockets and clean up this wires otherwise it is healthy and pumpy thank you Kevin, John, Manuel, Soren, and all who have helped me to make this happen ! Love, joy and cheer! I can not appreciate Kevin enough for sharing this wonderful build which makes my dream of an endgame rig happened!

90 years is a good run. RIP to one of the great guitar gods of all time.

Well, shit. No particular place to go indeed.

A little late, but a classic.

If you read the AV club review that is so filled with errors I am not convinced they actually watched it. I would say the first episode is on par with Luke Cage, which started out slow. All of the Netflix Marvel series spend a lot of time filling you in if you are a virgin to the series. I am going to keep watching because every one improved over time, including the acting. Not everyone can get into character as quickly as De Niro.

FTFY

Bike shopping with Xavier today. He fits a medium Kona. I'm getting old. More than we want to spend since he isn't a huge mountain biker, but it's high on the list. If you think the bike looks cool, you'll ride it, right? **BRENT**

I had the Tyll version of the Anax mod. I changed to the Super Dupont mod to see what the difference was. Not going back. These are keepers.

So I think this is pretty cool (sorry to toot my own horn, but I can't help it sometimes ). I've been meaning to miniaturize the GRLV supplies. I've got them down to boards that are 1.16" (H) x .8" (W). The output transistor mounts to the board and you can mount it directly to heat sinks. They are designed as LM78xx and LM79xx except with a TO-247 footprint. This means you'll still need the supporting components (bridge, diode and a few caps) that are found on the current boards. Here's what they'll look like... Note that the pass transistor will be folded up on to the board and you'll need to put some mounting pins in. I've made it so it is the same size as a standard horizontal TO-247 mount. EDIT: Note that there are set resistors are on the board (R2, R3) so the boards act like fixed regulators in the circuit.

RIP Bill Paxton. Also, RIP Judge Wapner. At least he made it to 97.

Liked him a lot in a lot of things. RIP Bill.

Whenever Paxton was in a movie, you could be sure that it would be at least 20% better than it otherwise would be, even if his role was small. Maybe my favorite contemporary character actor. What a fucking shame.

It's alive!

Claire's first concert -- her dad took her and it was his idea -- was Iggy Pop with David Bowie on keyboards and Blondie as the opener. She was 14.
