We're out of coffee. New coffee is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. If it is delayed by the storm, it is going to be a long weekend ...

Am I just reading this wrong?

Happy Birthday!

That you could do better for a lot less.

Underrated and underappreciated.

I feel like these two statements present a bit of a contradiction. Unless Diavelet is not as good at Class D.

Call me old fashioned, but I like passive. I had custom ear plugs made from the same molds used to make my custom IEM tips. They came with various filters to adjust the amount of attenuation, and the type.

That's an adorable cat and some decent looking cat trees.

Unless the ruble is doing really well these days, I feel like $8 for a matched quad is about right.

Happy Birthday!

Nope. They are claiming to have delivered them. But I am skeptical as I was home, and it seems highly unlikely that in the 20 minutes between delivery and my checking that someone, in broad daylight, in front of a busy elementary school, picked up three large boxes containing 50lbs of steel plates* and walked off. The overnight was from Mouser. UPS rescheduled for Monday, but Mouser seems to have stepped in to move it up to Saturday. * I'm taking a welding class!

I spent the day on the phone with UPS after they lost 3 packages and declined to deliver a 4th that was overnighted.

D'Oh. I missed this, too. Happy Birthday!

Alps blue. No gain.

I've used those USB jumpers to start my car from a 100% dead battery.

I guess I can answer this It is a diamond buffer, but it uses servo controlled current sources to maintain stability and improve performance. It also has JFET input and Sziklai output devices for low distortion and low noise. The PS uses Jung regs. And we kept the raw PS external to eliminate any chance of noise being picked up (I think CJ's uses an external switcher, but a transformer works, too).

I've always used dd.

We just did 8" by hand as the snowblower wouldn't start. It's just as well as the snow was light and fluffy and our snowblower is more or less useless.

I made a buffer for crappyjones123 that fit this description a couple of years ago. Send him a PM. He was selling it at one point.

This should be in the DIY section. The difference between 1x and 2x gain is incidental. A 2 position switch is easy while 3 position requires many more parts. Use a latching relay controlled by the arduino. Then add a permanent resistor for 6x gain, and switch in another in parallel to reduce the gain.

Happy Birthday!
