] and this is why i've been so busy lately http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/prospector1.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/prospector2.jpg '>http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/prospector3.jpg Nice! Here's one I prepared earlier (2002) http://www.tech-enterprise.com/tekstuff/DSCN0622.JPG The bad boy in the 3rd picture has the equivalent flux of 10% of the APS Argonne Labs Beam line. i.e. about the same as 20 watt laser. Cuts thru flesh if you are stupid enough to get in the beam. And while there is no smoke (at least there had better not be any smoke) it is in fact all done with mirrors. Runs at 50kv and a little less than 1ma. The one next week is a dual source. And a triumph monochrometer the end of this week. mere bagatelles. This is moar powahhh!!!!!

How about a nice shade of boysenberry..? Sepia is definitely out.

Are you syre your speakers aren't Wurlitzers... tee hee.

Electrical Safety (link). . All that to replace the moist finger test...........

I'm going to smash it to bits is what I'm going to do. . High tech answers are always the best. And it keeps the manufacturers in a job.

As you can see, there is some sort of white substance on it. . I could be wrong but the thought comes to mind - Dusty Chalk - You think....???

They're Borg terminals - you know, the Borg are villains from Star Trek the new generation. They're shorted together. The Borg's standard phrase for those who opposed them was "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE". If you put you're mouse arrow over the picture, you should get a larger view of it. It's a feeble attempt at humour. Some may appreciate it....

You just can't fight old age.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]3887[/ATTACH]

I'm going on to 62.5 years. I am short-sighted and could hold things to within an inch of my eyeball, even when I was 50, and could see it with perfect clarity. Now, there's a point about eight inches away which is in focus, and forward or back of that becomes blurred rather rapidly. I praise modern plastic lenses, for without them I would have to wear the bottoms of coke bottles.

It's not something to take too lightly - even in our lighter moments.... Whet LED you to go to all this trouble just for a few more lumens? It must be real TORCHure coming to grips with the problem. VIVA LAMPADA

Desert Ironwood from Griffin Exotic Wood Density 0f 1.2 Genuine Lignum Vitae (guiacum officinale from Griffin Exotic Wood The real stuff, not Argentinian. Both are from the link above..

Griffin Exotic Wood--the high quality exotic wood source! Anyone bought anything from this mob?

I wonder if us aussies could get a hold of some mallee roots and do the same...??

hahaha must...resist....but...cant... x6 x6 x6 x6 x6 x6 . Is it that nattonrice being a Ph.D student is impervious to the mathematical onslaught of this bit of tom-foolery. I hope so, as the only other logical explanation is that someone doing a Ph.D in maths can't count to five - which, on the face if it, seems preposterous.

This whole discussion is in a state of flux..... I have had occasion to use it on old wire when normal rosin cored solder just didn't do it. I don't use it habitually, but there are times like when de-soldering components, when it becomes a necessity.

parts connexion now carry khozmo attenuators, but they don't carry the 50k quad. https://www.partsconnexion.com/conrtols_attenuator_khozmo.html

My Khozmo showed up yesterday. ordered last month. The steps are more firm amd pronounced than the DACT. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3711[/ATTACH]

Let me know what my bill is and I'll paypal you as soon as possible.

I need to start finishing things... doh! . Tom, You're way ahead of most headphone buffs - they're finished before they're started when it comes to building their gear....

How about Quasi Complementary Symmetry? All the same topology, N-channel or P-channel.

someone build it and let me know how well it works. . You know you want to build one................... Perhaps nattonrice might fall for it..!!

Fully differential fully complementary symmetry amps are the best. Unfortunately not possible in electrostatic amps unless you want to do serious transistor stacking. . Something for the future....??

Is the BOM for this amp pretty much set in concrete, or are there envisaged changes to parts in the works?

Sacres cows to the golden eared brigade.
