It was lovely. It's supposed to snow on Monday. I'm pretty excited about that blade. It is, so far as I am aware, unique - it is a 40 tooth flat top grind with a precise 0.125" kerf meant for doing joinery. Every other flat top blade is either a ripping blade with fewer teeth and a less precise kerf, or has an 8" diameter and is wider.

On high Z, the L2 has a Zout of something like 50 Ohms. The headphones have an impedance of 80 Ohms at 1KHz, but 300 Ohms at 50Hz. That means there is a voltage divider with the headphone Z and amp Z. So, if there is a 1V signal, at 1K about 38% (50/(50+80)) of that signal is lost to the amp's impedance, and the other 62% goes to the phones. So you are left with a 0.62V. At 50Hz, the amp is still 50 Ohms but the phones are 300 Ohms. That means they get 86% of the signal. That's nearly a 3dB boost at 50Hz. Hence too much bass.

Rate the fuse for the primaries.

Happy Birthday!

I'm skeptical about remastering - I can't say I've ever really heard a remaster that I thought was much better, but I have certainly heard plenty that were worse. This one feels pretty easy to get wrong. But I am excited about the re-release of the old demo tapes. That should be fun.

There might be albums out there that are as good, but I am doubtful there are any that are better.

Sometimes flipping toroids will reduce stray fields.

While I cannot speak to the rest of New England, having spent winters in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and upstate NY, I can say that people in Connecticut* cannot handle their weather.

You can cut a hole in the bottom plate under the PT and then add a small plate underneath to fill the gap. It will add the thickness of the plate to the interior which appears to be about enough, and it will be hidden.

I've certainly chucked an end mill in a hand drill to chop out something small when I was too lazy to dig out the dremmel. But even of the drill was OK with the side force, it is not fast enough for milling.

Sounds like you might need more amplification ... edit: D'Oh. Same joke, and your version is better.

They are that, but they are available. DSHA3 and DSHA3F (specifically for Focals, picture below in walnut) are the current models, and Tom and I are very close to releasing the T5 which is effectively a DSHA output stage with tube gain. Indeed, I just received an updated T5 power transformer in the mail today that I soldered in not 10 minutes ago.

Bubbles. and Omar, obviously. and Snoop.

RIP Charles Emerson Winchester III.

Happy Birthday!

You want me to drink coffee from CVS? I thought you were my friend.

Well, half of our drain pipes appear to be on the ground, but the coffee is here. Everything is fine.

We're out of coffee. New coffee is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. If it is delayed by the storm, it is going to be a long weekend ...

Am I just reading this wrong?

Happy Birthday!

That you could do better for a lot less.

Underrated and underappreciated.
