Oh that's horrifying. There are probably more than a few alternate universes where there is no Schiit Audio because I tripped and went head-first into our Frankensaw in the speaker days (think 5HP motor, 8' table, no guards, blade usually all the way up). I'm a giant baby now, and use a Dewalt...

Everything is relative. I'm originally from a comparatively hot part of California, where heat ranges from "hot as balls" to "hot as Satan's left testicle" for 4 months out of the year, not the perfect LA weather as portrayed in a lot of screen fantasies. In Texas, it's more like "hot, HaB, or...

I finally ordered a couple of bottles to CC.

A few years back, I had the chance to buy 50,000 of these for about $10,000...should have done it. Argh. Notes to past self: 1. Paint everything 2. Make all 6x9 products 1/2" larger on each side 3. Make all 16x8 products something like 14x9 (less important, but still, while you're at it...) 4...

Now targeting the 30th. See Jason's Law. Better to be perfect than fast, or rich than dead, or here than there, or something like that...crazy times.

Welcome to Texas. Enjoy the, ah, "weather." Edit: last night in Corpus it went from hot and muggy to cool and breezy and dry (Texas style dry, Corpus style breeze--think 20-30mph winds) to torrential horizontal rain for about 15 minutes, to an insane sunset and still kinda cool and dry to next...

Not to be pedantic, but being pedantic: it'd be more correct to say "the silent killer of vintage tube gear is filament voltage." Modern gear is much more apt to be designed for current AC line voltages. We take high line into account (5.7V at 110 to 6.5V at 125 typical target), or in some...

Maybe. But not the highest priority, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, even if it fit, Vali 3 doesn't have the right voltages to run it...it's a very very very minimalistic design. So unfortunately no chance of that happening.

More on topic. Not a comment on the Lyr+. Or maybe it is.

Hey all, The time flies by. Too many things to do right now! Sooooo, a quick update, before I go into Weekend Documentation Hell (long story, you'll read about it this year): 1. You may see Kraken as early as next week. Think "media capability, music quality." Not giant power. I've been using...

Lots of wacky ideas in play. The catch is--we are very far along the performance/value axis. This means that: 1. Many of the wacky ideas are too wacky, and won't work. 2. Multiple prototypes of multiple wacky ideas are required, with listening of different candidates needed to determine...

Okay, I'll bite. You guys are crazy.

Yeah, 20K tanks, 4200SF roof collection area, 2 people, half time (keeping Corpus house), literal xeriscape...I don't think we're going to have a problem with rain capture. But it's not for everyone. For what it's worth, the local rain capture guys recommend 30K tanks if you have a family and a...

Sisterdale is on the list. They seem legit, and worth a visit. Also of note, Newsom Cellars is in the same area (Comfort) and the winemaker frequently mans their tasting room, so if you go by on a slow day, you may be able to spend a few hours talking wine. Fredericksburg is also nearby, and...
