Frisco Murray Stenson typically uses Old Overholt rye whiskey in this classic Bénédictine cocktail. If you use bourbon or another brand of rye, Stenson suggests adjusting the amount of whiskey to your personal taste. 2 oz. rye whiskey 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice 1/2 oz. Bénédictine Ice cubes Tools: shaker, strainer Glass: cocktail Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake well for 10 seconds, then strain into a chilled glass.

Gypsy Cocktail Dating to the mid-1930s, the Gypsy demonstrates vodka’s utility in drinks with strongly flavored liqueurs; here, the spirit’s neutrality gives the potent flavor of the herbal liqueur Bénédictine room to expand while also tempering the liqueur’s sweetness. 2 oz. vodka 1 oz. Bénédictine 1 dash Angostura bitters Ice cubes Tools: mixing glass, barspoon, strainer Glass: cocktail Combine ingredients in a mixing glass and add ice. Stir well for 20 seconds and strain into a chilled glass. Adapted from Esquire Drink Book, 1956

Is the electrical test before or after assembly?
-
yes, impedance control.
-
careful about "solder stealing" if you add TH parts, since there is the possibility of these being machine assembled.
-
Look at current sensing resistors for the less than 10 ohm.

Thanks! I'd be using them at low volumes for say a few hours max at a time. If they were barely warm that would be great. I'm going to stick them inside my TV cabinet (top two slots in this): you cannot tell from that pic. but there is some ventilation in those shelves, that's open below for the last inch or two. Even so, I'd like them to be pretty cool.

Dinny, how hot do the 9L get? I'm thinking about sticking them in an enclosed space (well, sorta enclosed)

You totally beat me to this one. I think it should also require morse code be used.

I'm not sure I agree. The extra heat will go into the tubes, sure, but that will raise the ambient temperature considerably. Look how the tubes are recessed. Agreed that the pass device takes a bit of abuse as is, but these things seem to run on the brink of instability as getting rid of all that heat is hard. Granted, there is a lot of ventilation, but my experience what happens is that the tubes heat up the MOSFETs and the ambient temperature of the heat sink and things seem to just cook from there. -
Anyone ever re terminate a Cardas Sennheiser cable?

I think Tice would........ Agree? -

I hate to see what you ask once you decide to try and get laid for the first time. -
Tipperary Cocktail (No. 1) 1/3 Italian Vermouth. (1/2 oz Carpano Antica) 1/3 Green Chartreuse. (1/2 oz Green Chartreuse) 1/3 Irish Whisky. (1 oz Bushmill’s 10 Year Single Malt, 1/4 oz Gordon & MacPhail Highland Park 8 Year) Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass. Got as close as I could to the above, no scotch though.

It doesn't matter. A functional amp always sounds better than one that is broken because it has overheated. Either use it as is or sell it. Regardless, there is no fucking reason for you to keep posting here. -

THE LOWER VOLTAGE SETTING WAS USED ON PURPOSE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE AMOUNT OF HEAT IN CHECK THAT THE DESIGN PRODUCES. DON'T MESS WITH IT, IT WORKS AND SOUNDS GREAT. -
Time delay isn't used to correct phase as he implied. Also, an active crossover isn't FAR better than a passive first order crossover in terms of phase.

depends what you mean by "needed"... anyways, I disagree with all those choices. -

actually, I never had problems removing the enamel coating. Just use the largest tip you have and max wattage and it comes right off. -

then replace it do you also understand what heat sinks are required for it to run at spec? -

ok, hold my hand now... that means the PSU is working as it was configured. -
Well, not really, Tyll. I was using the word "control" in the same context as Dreadhead did. You can very much choose order which results in non-linearities without really caring what the resulting curve is, when building a passive crossover. You might not like what you have to do in terms of driver choice, or time alignment, but it's doable (btw, driver choice is perhaps even more critical in a DSP scenario, that's why the people that Dreadhead mentioned above contact out their driver design). In a DSP scenario, like Dreadhead mentioned, this is harder. You have to actually control the curve itself in order to deal with the non linearities that the system itself inserts into the chain.
