All Activity

After mornings outside when the temps are in the 30s I could get used to going out when it is already 70 at dawn in Hawaii.

The new season

Hayes Carll and the Gulf Coast Orchestra chaparelle opened details to follow

Sorry I missed this before. Deity will be releasing an aes capable recorder soon-ish. It’s the PR4. Otherwise I’d probably get a tascam fr2 or zoom f3 for 2 channel.

I do have a type and it's doubtlessly-very-accomplished-and-respectable ladies in hot pants.

(or rather what the painter did today)

Another member of the Dead is deceased. RIP Bob Weir. https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/10/grateful-dead-guitarist-bob-weir-dies/

Which Rick Beato video? I love U.K./Bruford.

Because of that Rick Bateo video... ex.

Same experience here. I had no confidence in my answers but had more right than wrong after the reveal.

Update after listening all day with it closed up - temps in the base of the heatsinks are at least 77°C, current is 14.2 mA. Yep, it’s hot. The batteries crapped out in my IR thermometer, so I used a high end contact meat thermometer between the fins, lol 🥩. The heat sinks are not in contact with the case…I may try the aluminum bar mod if it gets too hot.

Streaming tonight from 8pm-12am Eastern time if anyone wants to swing by. Lots of new stuff to show off Twitch.tv/philodox42

Does anyone have a 3D model of the Sigma case for printing?

Oh you heard about the Accent wall in the lounge? Lighter/ Darker / Shorter / Longer ? Previous short / long comparison OK long it is, But Rich Cream? Or Desert Tan? The Correct Answer, as always, is: Yes, Dear.

Or at least multiple references...

And don't forget the old chestnut of having a feature wall in a deeper / darker shade so that you can struggle over two colors in one room!

It’s alive! Getting the offsets adjusted is so touchy…finally got it below 2mv as it drifted about. Did it without heatsinks after being on for a while. It seems to settle in around 14ma with the LTST-C170CKT LEDs and the 402R. Running 240R vice the 255R. Will likely let this cook for a while and see if it needs any tweaks. That front panel light is a bit bright…may need to tone that down a bit… 🤓

I doubt I got a security ping, it's just a meme. It says, "The American government could take every billionaires' assets the same way they stole Venezuela's oil".

Apparently, "blurple" is a freak of nature that took the recessive genes from both parents. As nature is wont to do on occasion.

Not a lot of cinema giants left, but we just lost another - RIP Bela Tarr. https://www.indiewire.com/news/breaking-news/bela-tarr-dead-1235171338/ https://www.npr.org/2026/01/06/nx-s1-5668240/bela-tarr-filmmaker-dead
