I've always been an aircraft nerd since I was a kid, particularly military, particularly WWII aircraft. I had the chance this weekend to see one of the two flyable B-29s, Fifi, up at the DuPage Airport, so made it up there. There was also a B-24 (very early model, serial number 18 of ~18,000 built), as well as a Stearman biplane, a T-6 Texan, and a Beech RC45 transport aircraft. I could have bought a ride on any of them (B-29 was $1,800 for the bombardier seat), but they were all sold out. Was cool to go up there anyway, and be able to go inside the B-29.
Beautiful !!!!!

Make yourself comfortable, connect the 007 to the BH, turn up the volume and put Tomorrow Never Knows.
Ufff, God. It's brutal. Ringo's drum track is insane...

And Speaking of happy listening.
Revolver (Super Deluxe)
The Beatles
1966https://album.link/i/1643394501
Example:
It has been a while since I have listened to this album. The 2022 mix came up somewhere, and there was a lot of chatter and some controversy. People getting all but hurt about this version verses that version and original bla bla. Putting all that aside. I listened to this diligently. And yup, frickin amazing.
I go back between this and Rubber as my fav albums of this era for them. The exploration of song format and the introduction of instruments really pushed these froward. Do I need the other 50 tracks of outtakes and false starts? Not really. But what those really point out is how much George Martin was there to piece together all these cuts and tracks into pretty cohesive songs. They were not a one take live to tape band. Also like that there are rough edges and studio artifacts left in.
Anyway - back to listening.
This is my favorite Beatles album.
I have several different versions of it (mono, stereo, Japanese, vinyl, cd, deluxe, etc... including an original from '66 that I bought on a visit to London a few years ago) and this is undoubtedly the best of them or at least it's the one I enjoy the most in terms of sound.

I guess that this is not the appropriate thread (sorry guys) but I think it's a very interesting video.
As you all know, I like to collect different versions/editions of certain pieces. "Kind of Blue" is one of them. Right now I think I have about 7 different editions (vinil and cd).
I admit that the reel to reel tape is something that has always attracted me, although I don't dare to enter that world.

Yesterday I repaired a Canon ef 17-55mm f/2.8. I bought it broken for €150, the diaphragm didn't work and here the ST does not repair them, so you have to send it to the mainland. This lens cost arround 800€ new here.
For 3 bucks I bought the flex wire conection that moves the diaphragm and after 5 hours of work (I had never opened an objective) and a hour cleaning glasses.... I was able to leave it as good as new.
After a good while taking this thing apart:
The damn broken flex wire:
Its alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very, very good, although perhaps my favorites are Blue Lines and Mezzanine... or 100th Window

Kevin gave me a design with 6C33 many years ago (arround 2017). I use it constantly and in fact, it's my favorite amp.
I have changed the preamp tube many times out of curiosity but never the 6C33... and that stuff already accumulates enough hours of use.

@justin bad boy.... I've been looking for the schematic and the sand for an hour 😁
I couldn't find the schematic (KGDT only) but I find it:
Kevin sayd:
schematics for mig here.

http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgdt2.gif
mig amp can be built balanced or unbalanced, uses grounded
grid 6c33 output tube and solid state current source.
(4 tubes balanced)
mig2 amp can be built balanced or unbalanced uses grounded
grid 6c33 output tube with a 6c33 as the current source.
(8 tubes balanced) -
I remember reading about the old amps (MIGs) Kevin designed... especially one that was totally overkill but I don't remember their names.
