  3. Hi all. Long time, no post. Had to make sure I shared this... I know I posted the video of "Control" by A. A. Williams a ways back. Well, her first proper release is out and... Holy. Hell. A. A. Williams - Forever Blue Other than that, I've been obsessed with Deafheaven. I was reading end of decade Best-Of lists and Sunbather was listed. Hard to believe an album from 2013 can hit me so hard, but I've listened to that and Roads to Judah so much over the last year, it's probably unhealthy. "Tunnel of Trees" and "The Pecan Tree" fucking wreck me.

  4. Potentially renaming Tacocat to Kikiki (so like Kiki, except 150% more), but not doing it officially until I stop changing my mind, I've already changed it twice. Still in quarantine, draws blood less often, but has destroyed not one but two litter mats. WTF? I've never seen this before. This kind: https://www.chewy.com/frisco-paw-shaped-cat-litter-mat/dp/193007?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Frisco&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQiAqdP9BRDVARIsAGSZ8Aks8QgOraW2MO69eNR30Oa_5ES2WnObUBXqWyy5Pgr7Hj6_MRC-Zf8aAsqHEALw_wcB Going to keep her in quarantine even if she tests clean for worms next week. I don't want her doing that to Bobby.

  7. This time I remembered where we're keeping this thread A very enlightening video on how to use a single mode, in this case locrian, to create very different moods. Funnily enough my yesterday's class was about that.

  8. been adding some dark roast back into daily grind (pun intended) to have some lower acidity in my midday/afternoon drink. i did Old Bisbee Bali Blue last order and yeah, it's just too dark and unruly to work with in pour-over and challenging even on aeropress. i decided this time to try Bisbee's current El Salvador and it is absolutely a better brew for the v60. it's a pinch too dark still, but has a ton less overt bitterness and more balanced tartness. this is close to ideal for a light roast counterpart in the morning.

  10. The ones I broke I had ordered from mouser when they still were available - like everything else in the build. However my psu was not made by me and I have no idea where those parts came from. I still don't understand how the mosfets could break down completely. I read up on mosfet failures and what I got seems to come from overvoltage. However I have a 400V psu that became unregulated on the negative voltage and it never surpassed -460V... anyway very happy it works again. I realize ebay is known for fake parts and I would never buy truly rare parts from there like those K170. But I took my chance with the c2m as it just became hard to order recently and isn't obsolete yet. I also received the UnitedSIC parts from mouser, but without more opinions I didn't want to try putting them on my board. Here are some images. I cnc'd a front panel from future carbon (acazia wood). The extra boards are a 3-stage dc filter and a relay/resistor-based inrush limiter. My old house with strange wiring has quite some dc and it made the transformer hum constantly. The PSU is the standard BH-mini-psu circuit. I increased the cap size when I replaced almost everything on the board.

  11. You could go with the longest single-word palindrome....but it may be tough to pronounce (and has little relevance to kitties, I'd hope) "saippuakivikauppias" The longest known palindromic word is saippuakivikauppias (19 letters), which is Finnish for a dealer in lye (caustic soda)

  12. I was also going to ask where you buy your parts from. Ebay and aliexpress, etc. are known bastions of fakes. BTW, Richardson RFPD (a division of Arrow) has the c2m1000170d (for $4.66 each) and ships from Hong Kong (at least mine did).

  13. I received new c2m1000170d I bought on eBay from Honk Kong for $7.50 per piece. The eBay images looked a bit strange, but the parts that arrived looked and felt absolutely identical to my broken ones. They measure infinite resistance between G & S on my meter and so I built them in and now my amp is working again! Will post some images tomorrow.

  18. I’m ashamed to admit I also have 12/9 - 12/11 off. I had use-or-lose leave, and my family and I can’t exactly go anywhere or do anything. The 9th is for my daughter, then all bets are off.

  19. She’s still very affectionate, but also I think the hunter instinct is still very strong in her. She doesn’t use her claws on me all the time, so she is learning, I just feel we still have a long way to go.

  25. I never had troubles with the HV900's, and haven't had any that blew, so the following is based on what I've found useful troubleshooting/checking the regular Golden Reference HV. Often it can be helpful to work at lower voltages when trouble shooting. Paralleling the high resistor (is it 2x 450kohm in the HV900?) in the probe string to get the circuit in action at a lower output DC. If regulation doesn't work for some reason and things go bad it usually isn't really bad. Parallel the R8(2x 450k) with one ~100k (one across both) will provide some ~100VDC. Initial check: The CCS's Use a lab supply at some ~15-20V, through a DMM at mA: put the (+) at the drain (middle leg) of the 10m90, and the (-) at the bottom of the CSS where R2(100) and R1(4k5) meets ...you should get ~2mA ....if you see much more, try replace the DN2540. Do the same at the other CSS: (+) to drain (middle leg) at the 10m90, and (-) at the bottom (pin 6 at the voltage reference) ...you should get ~1.3mA ...if not the 10m90 is probably damaged. Check the current limiting CSS you added (your drawing) the same way (Kevin suggested 50mA for this) When powering up the supply, hold the variac when you reach some ~40-50VDC output, and check: the pin6 of lt1021 against "ground" (pin4) ....you should see 10V ...if not, the lt1021 has probably gone south Before raising the VARIAC further: Attach a DMM across the 2k at the bottom of the cascoded CSS ... you should see ~0V (when at ~50VDC output) and only before regulation kicks in, the voltage jumps to some ~4V; it happens just before you reach the desired output voltage Attach a DMM across the 3k at the source leg of the output CSS (right most leg) ...should be some steady ~4V

  26. RIP Bobby Brown, Jr. Bobby Sr. has quite the legacy of drug related and early deaths: Whitney Houston dead at 48 Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown dead at 22 Former ward and nearly son in law Nick Gordon dead at 30. Bobby Jr. dead at 28. No cause given yet but allegedly "no signs of foul play." I hope his remaining five children fare better.
