  1. From the datasheet for those Hammond output transformers: Designed for general purpose or replacement use (not Hi-Fi), in single ended, tube output circuits. Frequency response: 100 Hz. - 15 Khz at full rated power (+/- 1db max. - ref. 1 Khz). For full frequency response (20 Hz. to 20 Khz.) - see our 1627-1642 Series. A single one of those circuits in a plywood case should run you about $400. And be used in a garage system at best.
  2. I had the unique experience of hearing this album years before hearing their debut and thus being able to judge it on it's own and not in comparison. Not nearly as groundbreaking, but a solid record.

  4. http://hse-econ.fi/tervio/MediocritiesAndSuperstars.pdf Basically, firms are risk averse. They would rather hire someone who has done something before, even if they did it badly, than hire someone who has never done something at all.

    I think I'd be worried about the top wool layer getting crushed and not being able to be refluffed, so you might want to add a topper of some sort.
  7. An exciting young player, but posted here for being a spectacularly well framed and timed photograph.

  10. Eye herpies is super common in any cat that's ever been outside. All of ours have occasional breakouts requiring eye drops. Some take them better than others, but none like them.
  11. Looks like you are in luck! https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60263574/
  12. I'm curious to see this. The old movie is pretty good, but not great. I've probably ready Catch-22 15 times at this point - usually what happens is I go looking for a quote, start reading, and realize I have read the whole thing again. If you haven't read it, I cannot recommend Something Happened enough.
  13. The order period for the third batch of the Ravenswood/DSHA3F is closing June 8th. Delivery is expected in late August.

    They are definitely not free, though this is Head-Case ... We're still happy with ours, and I'd buy it again. I'd describe it as being cozy austere, and the temperature regulation is the part I like the most. At the end of the year they sell the floor models for 30% off which can make it a little more reasonable. And if a floor model mattress is creepy, the toppers are replaceable - and they are supposed to be replaced every 4 to 5 years which is an added expense to consider as those are not free, either.
  17. I can't speak to the Thinkpad L's. I've never seen one in person, but the pictures look a little clunky. You'd probably be unnecessarily paying a lot for the Thinkpad name. My dislike of Ideapads goes back a few years and relates both to the manufacturing quality, and security issues. Things in the computer world change quickly, so I have no idea if any of that is relevant anymore.
  18. It's not pink, but you can get a 15" Thinkpad (T580) in your budget. If lightweight is your criteria, I might go with a 14" as there are many more options. The T480s and X1 Carbon are the two nice ones, but both probably push the budget. I would't wish an Ideapad on my enemy.
