I know this is a cross-post, but it's related to my carbon build... I made acrylic speaker housing(s) for the drivers... (I still haven't decided how to make headbands to mount the ear cups I'm making for headphones yet.) These speakers are now connected to my Carbon and filling up my tiny little room with music. I have tiny-xlr connectors on the back so I can use the same removable cables for speakers and the headphones I'm still building. I love this hobby...

Feast of Seven Fishes

Ok guys it starts to get cold. it's time to light the stove…

You should do one. I do not know if I have mentioned it before but I have remained definitively with the E180CC as a pre-valve (it´s somewhere between the ECC82 and the ECC81). I have not noticed any "negative" effects when adding that extra gain in the first stage. The E80CC also works very well here but is more in line with the ECC82 / 12AU7 with a little more gain. I think that this change and the adjustments that I did in the circuit (thanks to Michael, Jim and Kevin) have left the amp in its final configuration.

Chickpea with coconut milk and turmeric stew. Tasty.

Yup - engineering still matters...

I can just see you hunched over with your forehead resting on a table between these 2 monoliths, enjoying the wonderful sound. My back hurts just thinking about it. I am in awe of your nerdiness.

I watched with subtitles and enjoyed it a lot overall. I happened on an episode with the dubbed dialog and it seemed lame. I also enjoyed most of Buster Scruggs, including the namesake opener. I love the Coens, so it was a likely win.

Yeah, we’re fine, she asked me how my thanksgiving was, etc. I wouldn’t say we’re still friends, but we’re still friendly coworkers.

Get Off My Lawn? Hurrumph

Never was much of a Gomer Pyle fan myself, though watched a few. McHale's Navy, oh yeah....and Wild West too..... And Space 1999....now THERE come some memories! I now have that theme song going thru my head. And Craig, Addams Family and Munsters were right up there with me as well. I loved Carolyn Jones! Goth Girl before Goth was Goth. As for CGAW, Dusty, that's great that she looks younger.....you should find a nice (and non-creepy) way to tell her that! I hope things are still comfy enough with her.

Waiting for Neko Case at the Fox Theater in Oakland.

4AD reissues of This Mortal Coil - 24-96 of two of their albums. I adore Caroline Crawley! Love her cover of Mr. Somewhere....

Bacon wrapped pork loin.

Starting with the salt and butter tray. Truffle and Greek butter with Hawaiian black salt and smoke salt and a meat tray with duck prosciutto , etc.

It was only a matter of time. X-mas gift to me... I expect the wifey will make me let her wrap it up. She loves to make me suffer...LOL. Already thinking on a brown alligator strap with proper Omega deployment buckle... Self control is overrated. HS
