Cablegram Cocktail (Savoy) Juice of 1/2 Lemon 1/2 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar (caster sugar) 1 Glass Canadian Whisky (4 oz) Shake well, strain into long tumbler (1/3 filled with ice) and fill with Ginger Ale.

I didn't play with it too much, I tried 3 or 4 metal films (PRP, Dale, Panasonic, and another) and 1 CC and the difference was 4 or 5 fold after the first cap. Again, this is with a 22VAC transformer, so things may be different here.

One other thing I've found, when playing with this on LV supplies. Use carbon composition resistors. They perform better in these applications.

Credit for that design goes to Emile Sprenger and the late Allen Wright. There might be some later iterations of it, sold through Vacuum State Audio.

Ok. What do you think of this design? http://www.basaudio.net/datasheets/hvreg.pdf

I think it still has a few more parts. I use a MOSFET, not the BJT Darlington configuration. I also drop the series resistor before the regulator and it seems to come out a few parts ahead. My noise measurement is right at 100uV. What about a difference in short circuit protection? Also, what about a difference in supporting higher voltages?

What post is the schematic in again?

Let's assume both amps are Class A. The 10W amp biases the output into a more linear fashion than the 1W amp. Also, mpwi remember that output power doesn't necessarily correlate to gain, so your comment wasn't exactly fair either.

nice! 180uV sounds about right, but I have other numbers I can track down. I would think with PSRR of a good CCS, and the nature of an electrostatic headphone load (static), that this would be good enough, but I defer.

Agreed.

Typically I file paperwork and get the money back from them though. I just showed I wasn't a business and the materials were for personal use, and a check was in the mail.

Weird. I have been charged brokerage fees for things over $10K, specifically by UPS, but never true customs fees...

Note to self: A wine-glass is MOAR. Nice drink though, wish I could do a second one tonite..

Customs? Are you sure it wasn't a brokerage fee Andy?

Brandy Crusta Jerry Thomas (1862) Take 3 or 4 dashes of gum syrup (Sugar Syrup) 1 dash of Boker's bitters. 1 wine-glass of Brandy (Cognac) 2 dashes of Curacoa. (Curacao) 1 dash Lemon Juice. Before mixing the above ingredients, prepare a cocktail glass as follows: Rub a sliced lemon around the rim of the glass, and dip it in pulverized white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass. Pare half a lemon the same as you would an apple (all in one piece) so that the paring will fit in the wine-glass, as shown in the cut. Put the above ingredients into a small whiskey glass filled one-third full of shaved ice, shake up well and strain the liquid into the cocktail glass prepared as above directed.

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.

How's the bite compared to Smith and Cross?

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.

You know, this is crazy, but I actually want to see pics with you brandishing that bad boy.

Shutting is appropriate there as well. It's a timing thing though.

Thanks! XLR to BNC is what I need then. Carry on.

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.

Good God isn't that awesome? I want another!

Wanted to try the Ritt 100 in a Sazerac. Its nice!
