It's strange, I really have gotten used to it.
The "kitchen sink" drink is surprisingly good. I'd make it again. I'd try green Chartreuse and less gomme next time. The high amount of bitters totally works here.
The Alamagoozlum Cocktail
1/2 egg white
1 oz Genever
1 oz water
0.75 oz Jamaican rum
0.75 oz yellow Chartreuse
0.75 oz gomme
0.25 oz Cointreau
0.25 oz Angostura bitters
Shake and strain into a large glass!
yeah, the LM329 is used in the Maida. I'm not sure why you guys don't consider this design, it's simple, cheap, hard to destroy, and performs pretty well.
Hot Buttered Rum
2 oz Rum
3 sugar cubes
1 tbsp Butter
Hot Water
Warm a mug or glass, and then add sugar and about 1.5 oz of hot water to the mug. Stir sugar and water until sugar is well-dissolved. Add rum and then fill top the mug with hot water. Add butter and stir until butter is completely melted.
Mojito Agricole
2.5 oz rhum
24 mint leaves
2 sugar cubes
1 oz lime juice
4 oz soda
Place mint leaves in bottom of glass an muddle with lime juice. Add rhum and stir. Add crushed ice. Add soda water and garnish with mint leaves.
I was aiming towards a more sour, not as sweet mojito. I succeeded. This rhum isn't as earthy as other agricoles, it works well here.
I have a question about the breakout cable people use with these. Is there ever a point where you have two BNC connectors delivering a balanced signal? So, two BNC connectors each with half of the balanced signal... so, four connectors for stereo?
Does anyone have a setup like this? I realize I could make up some adapters, but I'm looking for someone in a few months to do some testing for me...
I'm assuming you mean the really long heat sinks I posted in the original T2 thread?
Well, if a LM317 is so good (and assuming we trust those guys), what about a Maida regualtor:

The above is a layout I did.
Martini (Special) Cocktail, revised (Savoy, Erik E.)
1 1/2 oz Old Tom Gin
3/4 oz Carpano Antica Vermouth
2 drops Orange Flower Water
Bare Dash Absinthe
Dash Angostura Bitters (Boker's)
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass. Twist Lemon Peel over glass and discard.
French 95
3/4 ounce bourbon
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1 ounce fresh orange juice
Champagne
Shake the first four ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled glass (oops!) Top with Champagne.
Not much booze, but very tasty. In lieu of the French 75.
The Vesper was nice. The Seelbach is weird in that it isn't stirred. Perhaps the recipe I found (Regan's?) is not accurate? It's a unique one, that's for sure.
Seelbach
.75 oz bourbon
.25 oz Cointreau
1 tsp (scant) angostura
1 tsp (scant) Peychauds
4 oz very cold champagne
Add ingredients to a champagne glass in the above order. Garnish with a twist.
