Biodegraded

Dunno, must've heated something too much and made a short. I'll practice getting a few cheap SOICs onto DIP boards before I risk swapping the IVs on the Modi Multibit!

The OPA627 is also a single channel, not a dual. I usually fry them by inserting them upside down. Reverse voltage kills most of them, and always on the FET ones.

According to the marks on the chips, the adapter board, and the amp, I got all the positioning right, and there aren't any solder bridges between the legs or other visible problems, so idk. But with 8V of DC and no sound at the output (I used phones I could lose, but they survived), there's a failure somewhere!

Try sudo rm /cats/ -rf . That aught to free up some space

Funny, Postimages was unavailable last night around 10:20pm mountain time.

Imgur didn't like my new VPN. Changed.

Epic!!!

"Hall files for restraining order against Oates" really sounds like an episode of Live from Daryl's House gone horribly wrong.

Evidently Daryl has decided who's his BFF: https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/RobertFripp11.8.22-13.jpg?w=1000&h=563&crop=1

Somebody should mash up 'Maneater' with 'Baby's On Fire.'

He could check out any time he liked, but he never could leave.

Maybe "Air Supply"

Not surprised. I think all the recent New Order reissues have been compressed.

Sad to see Ireland out, given the quality of their side, but nice to see NZ picking up steam again

I’ve not been scammed, but most sellers way over-grade their selection. Then it becomes a messy disagreement over what “Very Good+” really means.

Once you find a seller or three you trust, it’s just so much easier to deal with them directly. If I can’t find something with the short list of shops I know, I don’t bother.

^ Ha! I didn't spot that because it selected CAN for me on loading, but yeah, if you go and physically select the region button, up come the prices. If you've set your browser to ditch cookies on exit though, gotta do it again on next visit.

When I was working for a large tech distributor, when a change like you describe was deemed borked, the first thing you want to do is roll back to a good stable instance of your site. Otherwise you will kill your installed client base and any future customers.

I haven’t bought anything from them in years, but took a spin. The new site is sooo cheesy. Old one was way better…

Cool! I never caught them during the last tour. The self-titled is up there with the best reunion albums of all time, just so good. It might even be my favorite of their records by a hair.

Thought this was a sneaker convention or something. f**k

lodger, criminally underrated
low, the "cool" party/dj setlist opener in the early 2020s
heroes, the best conservative mainstream rock album

Yeah, after listening back-to-back, Lodger is top for me - it's the most consistent of the 3.

Will echo the Lodger love. When he passed it was the one I kept returning to the most.

I really liked the Massdrop Plus with it (and the Andro)

Me too (MD Plus). Thanks again for the great deals on both components!

I'm glad you like them so much!

I imagine Keef's primary care physician to be an embalmer.

Or Dr Frankenstein.

the sad thing is they will sell out of all 250 units, plinthyful

But look at the photos! It's got /hinges!/ OhGoshAndGolly!

As for "handbuilt," I'd have guessed that they mostly are?

I'd be more curious to see it work on a plane or maybe a fancy high end car.

@Wilewarer, yes it certainly could be an interesting PC component.

On the whole, PCs are not very noisy these days. even mechanical HDDs are hard to hear and fans/coolers can be bought carefully.

It's still possible to be unlucky though: my PC build of two years ago has a noisy fan on the motherboard. Didn't know until it was too late to do anything about it.

...

... Probably this plus electronics could be made for a 120mm fan space. I wonder what the cost would be.

Next pls find and test a Basis replacement belt that doesn't cost $300 so I can get over my nervosa

@Inoculator TLDR spoiler is: Reference W&F is much better but arm-down speed is too slow, but you can fix that with the Neo PSU. Longer story is the waveform is much smoother - I'll show that. @bobboxbody lol.

@Inoculator , 4th post here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/new-belt-and-a-wow-flutter-deep-dive.13570/
The preceding 3 are also interesting, but as usual, too wordy :)

@YMO I do have a lot of digital, but I have a weird desire to have music in the major format of its initial release - so most of my pre-mid-80s stuff is on vinyl, mid-80s to early-2010s on CD. Increasingly though I'm putting the CDs on the computer and streaming to Pi2AES.

I have had to use weak "readers" with my contacts for a couple of years now. I now just search my collection in Discogs and then go find it.

Was it a New Orleans band? Often have tubas unstead of upright bass.

@DigMe it's local identities who've been playing New Orleans-style jazz/funk/blues around Vancouver forever. Last night was the guitarist's 74th: https://osita.ca/event/shellys-bday-2/.
The most info I can find on them is here:

The Sousaphone player, not listed in that old post, is the sax player's son.

Totally accidental, we thought we'd just be seeing these guys:

(they did play later).
