🐠 🌮 🌮 speaking of TACO/NACHO Tuesday, https://www.perplexity.ai/search/aece1583-dd4c-4a3a-bbdb-f70a193ddebb

The glorious Natural History Museum in London. And like all museums in the UK, totally free entry.

finished my cfa3 this week, thanks kevin gilmore for the desing and the support from the forum members. running on +-30v with moderat bias, changed the gain resistors to 3.2k for lower gain. needed some 3d printed parts so that all fit fine, a cfa3 in a quad 405 chase. no pot this time, i use a dac with volume control or a preamp. after all amps i build i think the best solution for a 1 case build ist mounting the trafos outside in vertical position, absolut no magnetic hum inducted. i also added grain oriented metal band around the trafos inside the trafo cases.

@blessingx, what are her views on magnets?

After all the wonderful music Esmé has been exposed to, her current favorite band is Insane Clown Posse. That can't be a bad sign, right? 😵‍💫 So...

I've discovered that I'm not getting weaker the older I get, but in fact quite a bit stronger. Yesterday I lifted a $100 bag of groceries with one arm, like it was nothing. I couldn't do that in my twenties!

In the end, I decided on the F2.8... In recent months, I've used the 24-105 F4L much more than the 24-70 2.8L because of that extra telephoto reach, and I have to say it works very well except at sunset and indoors, where I struggled to take good photos without too much grain. At those times, I missed the 24-70 F2.8L. That's why I ruled out the 70-200 F4 and broke the piggy bank to buy the F2.8. 🙂 Some more photos with the 24-105mm F4L
