Steve's double spatula game was intense!

Didn't take pics, but cooked bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes on the new griddle. Dorothy cooked scrambled eggs inside. Worked fantastic! My assistant griddler (DOTU)) and I made quick work of it, and had fun.

IXTP10M90S can be replaced with IXCP10M90S(TO-252). If KSC2690 can be replaced by something else with an SMD package, we can eliminate all the aluminum oxide isolations. BTW, what is your grounding strategy? Seems like the ground pins of the XLR input go back to the PSU enclosure.

That's very Spanish of you!

Madness - Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)

Tomorrow morning I will attempt bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes. Dorothy will cook the eggs inside in a skillet, as I worry the seasoning is not ready for eggs yet. There's going to be a learning curve, as this thing can get plenty hot! I'm already thinking of shrimp jambalaya, stir fry dinners, fried rice, and so on. Smash burgers for certain!

Love my flattop, Steve. Smash burgers might be the best way to eat them, homemade friend rice is sofa king good, and being able to cook 9-12 pancakes at once is a first world problem, but still glorious to overcome.

Nice job!

The cats broke the glass lamp in our entryway, so I needed a non-glass replacement. Similar to a design I made a few years ago, but smaller and with some refinements.

Tried a new to us local restaurant, Maison Pucha Bistro. Pleasant experience on the food and drink. For anyone in H-town, I would recommend the escargot, beef empanadas, the bouillabaisse and the lamb osso buco. I asked them to make a rye sidecar and they did a great job...not overly sweet. HS

Seasoning the new griddle while it's raining. It's the latest technique.

Just finished the Season 3 of the White Lotus It could have made a decent 2 hour movie. I spent most of the time playing guitar.

mini T2 with new boards. STN9360 replacing the obsolete KSA1156. Here the 01N100D are replaced with 10M90S and it works all right. The amplifier is configured for EL34/6CA7. Amplifier for 300B by member mla a few posts up. He also have 6A3 - see if he can be persuaded to test them.

Hi I'm trying to power up the srx and i have a problem 😕 .... I set the balance to 0v but when i'm triming 500r pot nothing changes (set voltage to half of B+) I set 1,3MmA, 7mA, 17mA and i have 170vDC on output

The Illegals https://www.townofrossca.gov/recreation/page/live-common-april-25-2025 The illegals in Ross are a eagles cover band, not the help. They may want to change their name in light of recent enforcement. They did play hotel California, however.

As my dad used to say, raining like cow piss on a flat rock. He was a wwII vet, so maybe he picked it up in France?

Have you considered completing the trifecta, albeit with a change of pace? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_by_Front

Wasn't planning on a theme, but I had both in my listening queue. So, I decided to listen to them...

relays are dual coil latching. so 2 might be tricky. 3) lots and lots of cheap transistors. best to go with the "B" versions, matching is always better. 4) 50k attenuator NOT NEEDED. thats the point. there is no commercial product with an output voltage that will saturate the input. 5) very much like the ayre kx-r. individual resistor goes between the 2 pins. for increased gain should you want or need it. schematc shows everything at 0db gain.

I've read two novels by William Boyd: Restless (2006), a WWII espionage novel and Solo (2013), a James Bond novel. He's a great writer - I'll definitely check out Gabriel's Moon.

Chuzos de punta (point down spiky sticks)

Hi, Dr. Gilmore. It is thankful to have a new circuit for the preamp. I have some stupid questions to ask if the circuit change from leduino controls to simple toggle switches and attenuator. 1.According to the preamp2025g.pdf, does it mean when the signal comes from the XLR input socket, the signals will go to the R61 (+ signal route) and R60 (- signal route)? After the process of the input section, the Q47, Q48 (+ signal route) and Q43, Q44 (- signal route) will connect to the attenuator input pin. Then it will comes to the R81 (+ signal route) and R80 (- singal route) to enter the output section. At the end, the(+ signal route) will comes from the R82, R87 and the (- singal route ) will comes from the R90, R95 to the XLR output socket? If I want to replace the digital parts with the alps rk27 or even khozmo attenuator, is it correct to replace the components and connect to the above pins? 2. According to the output socket, if having no microcontroller parts, is it better to use the headphone protector board for the connection to control the switch? 3. In comparison to the susy dynalo and the cfa3, it seems this design requires more transistors. Do all the transistors are recommended to complete the match pairing process? Or some of the transistors play a crucial roles that requires match pairing? 4. Unlike the susy dynalo and the cfa3, it is not JFET input, can the circuit still accept 50k attenuator? 5. What is the J1 and J5 do for the gain? How should I connect to these two terminal block?
