after all these years we have finally found a solution for the power supply modules at a rational price. which means we can make a transportable electrostatic amplifier. similar to srmxh,srm252,srm270 etc. 3 times the power, +/-400v power supplys, no obsolete components etc. designed to be mounted to the bottom as a heatsink with silicone thermal sheet in between. should be about $250 in parts unless you go nuts with the volume pot. not sure of casing yet.

I had my Amazon Fire TV Cube packed away for the last few years. When watching Schitt's Creek, everytime they called their Daughter Alexis, Alexa would reply, and it kind of drove me crazy. Last night I re-installed it. Tonight when I came home from work, I said "Alexa, turn on the TV", when she replied "OK" Maki went crazy. She strutted around the apartment barking for 3 minutes. I couldn't convince her that nobody else was in the apartment.

all three power supplies a total of $80.62 with shipping from china. fully regulated 12v to 18v input. i could not build these things for that price, no way.

Unlikely, as I feel they would have been perfectly justified in declaring an emergency at that point.

i did some quick tests and they are pretty quiet. but i plan on doing more exact tests. cap.inductor,cap should be more than enough. spec sheet seems to imply 20mhz which cant be right. will get out the spectrum analyzer to make sure.

I'm enjoying the quadraphonic mix with the DVD of Deep Purple's "Stormbringer" 35th Anniversary edition. Quadraphonic equipment has always piqued my curiosity...Perhaps I'll purchase a CD-4 cartridge to experiment with some things. DVD dates: Original Quad mix mixed at The Record Plant, October 1974 reformatted for 5.1 surround sound at Abbey Road Studios, London, February 2008. DTS Sound (24 bit/48K) You might be surprised, but it's my favorite Purple album:

Blimey.

When I think of Brent, and that's a rare moment. I can't think of him except as a continuous loop in my brain, of him falling off of a bicycle. So, falling off of a bicycle is my answer.

This one rocks. Their first great album front to back?

I dunno, you tell me… feels gram is somewhat to blame as well. Maybe they ran out of the usual? https://aviationsourcenews.com/incident/british-airways-a350-bound-for-austin-u-turns-back-to-london-heathrow/

MoonDial by Pat Metheny (2024) https://album.link/i/1733722355 Example: Enjoyed the new release from Pat. Playing with his new guitar. Mellow, but a good listen, well recorded.

Small earthquake just now...anyone know what Brent is doing?
