Studio B right channel makes a slow fade. PX300B filament died. New tubes ordered but good thing the lab has numerous high quality alternatives. SW51+ and T4 are going to get a lot of use right now.

Sending thoughts of healing to your wife, Bob.

Best wishes.

Thank-you all for the well wishes. The worst restrictions are no red meat, no wine, no high fiber foods. Then when infection has subsided lots of high fiber foods but still no red meat and no wine. Saturday night steak nights are off for awhile. She can have chicken and pork if ground or cooked until it falls apart.

Best wishes, Bob!!!

Very best wishes to you both, Bob.

Thank you for the well wishes. She is improving to the point of insisting on resuming some household tasks and looking after our grand children twice weekly. Still a ways to go to avoid need for a surgical solution. Corporate offered several paid weeks off and at least one a month for the rest of the year.

Enjoy! You know I’m a fan of a nice red or amber beverage to enhance the listening experience.

Just Give it Time.

Thank-you all, I am enjoying this transition greatly. Seriously going to limit future corporate to less than 25 hrs / wk. I'm getting to old for 90 mph hair-on-fire schedules.

@Kernel Kurtz Welcome Home

Thad and I look down our collective noses with disdain. What you call unbearable is a walk in the park even for that Brit. ! :))

My wife is a huge weather wimp, especially considering that she spent her life in this climate. None the less, I'm very fond of our AC machines!

I remember one 40C-plus day, no electricity, I was barely conscious! On the other hand, on another 40-plus day, I was charging around temples and monuments with a tourist friend.

I think the hottest I've ever been was an April afternoon in a hotel in Bodh Gaya when the power went out.

St-Emilion Grand Cru = good. Harder and harder to find Bordeauxs these days.

Are you able to compare USB only (bus power / data) vs. the wall powered coax option? My work setup is the Gamma2 Lite - Curious on the compromise.

@M3NTAL yes, both will be included in the technical measurements thread when I post. Have spent a long period tracking down an intermittent problem with the power supply sent with the gamma 2. It has transient indiscretions which affect both the measurements and the sound. Replacing with an iFi 5V supply solves both.

That is about the climate here @Thad E Ginathom. Although this winter did not get nearly as bad as Texas. Summer humid heat, and that will just roll into tornado season

Turned out to be a bad compressor start capacitor. Amazing how much better one feels at 10 °C lower in temp. Now in the queue to replace an 18 yo system, but in a controlled way, not panic driven.

How nice it is when these problems have a quick and easy fix!

Poor you, got sucked into another Hands "X-off" ... LOL

@JayC look in the Urban Dictionary for Reverse Midas Touch

Haha I know, I was trying to make it a bit lighter by being silly. Hope that was a solitary bad day!

Everyone has days like that. It was my turn in the barrel. Things have improved greatly, though I am not nearly as energetic as many years ago. The system is less energetic if domains of opposite direction alternate ...

@Koth Ganesh No wish to communicate with a con man. Nothing to gain and likely everything to lose.

@atomicbob, it’s not Amir himself that will give you grief, it’s his minions.

@Koth Ganesh yes, it is a losing proposition to engage any of them no matter how you approach the situation.

If you are calling the lawyers involved elephants, I've been called far worse. :) Take care and please avoid getting stepped on.

@Cryptowolf : Dancing elephants comprise many participants including lawyers, VPs, policy makers (often human resources) and (gasp) other technical types. The specific phrase " crushed by the process" was carefully chosen.

Well said, I seldom encounter such artful turns of phrase outside usage by my fellow legal colleagues.

Sometimes you are in front of the bull, butting heads and getting gored. Most of the time you are behind the bull wading in bullshit. Occasionally you are on top of the bull for a wild ride. But when you fall off you must be careful not to get trampled in the process.

And they like to chase after the wavy red flag for whatever reason. And you can't stop them most of the time.

And some people think getting gored or trampled by the bull is an indication of character, while most of us do our best to avoid the sharp or tramply things.

I would Epic this if I could.

Results so far (on my lab unit) indicate most important burn-in is the first 100 to 500 hours. After burn-in there isn't much measurable warm-up change past the first hour. I'm going to repeat with the loaner unit over the next several days. My apologies to all those after me on the list. My lab unit has more than 1700 power on hours. I'm not certain how many hours are on the loaner.

Guess the Best Before date was coming up fast ...

Glad you're getting one. My mom just got her first.

@gixxerwimp : you win the cigar. I learned vials of vaccine hold many doses. Once seal is broken the 6 hour time to expiration begins. Appointment cancellations result in wasted vaccine doses. We were fill-ins at the beginning of the vial seal puncture.

Search for Senn Delaney for an example
