Re: New TRON Movie, NIN, Nine Inch Nails
How was the NIN show?
NIN was Incredible as always. My wife was lucky enough to see them with David Bowie back in the day, she said it absolutely one of her favorite shows..
Trent still has the chops..

It's a law as immutable as the ones
governing bodies in motion and bodies at rest
that a cat picked up will never stay
in the place where you choose to set it down.
I bet you'd be happy on the sofa
or this hassock or this knitted throw pillow
are a few examples of bets you are bound to lose.
The secret of winning, I have found,
is to never bet against the cat but on the cat
preferably with another human being
who, unlike the cat, is likely to be carrying money.
And I cannot think of a better time
to thank our cat for her obedience to that law
thus turning me into a consistent winner.
She's a pure black one, quite impossible
to photograph and prone to disappearing
into the night or even into the thin shadows of noon.
Such an amorphous blob of blackness is she
the only way to tell she is approaching
is to notice the two little circles of her eyes
then only one circle when she is walking away
with her tail raised high-- something like
the lantern signals of Paul Revere,
American silversmith, galloping patriot.

Re: Building a vacuum tube tape preamp
Here's a curve that I was able to measure showing how adding 47pF capacitance to the input loading effected the playback EQ versus an ideal measurement using a flux loop attached to the Tandberg's head. The goal was to be able to predict what the change would be and then see if it happened.

Always wanted one of these...
I have always admired Rotel from afar, well, my 'ol CEC CD3300 finally bit the dust after 24 years of service. Ordered a Rotel CD14MkII CD Player for the shop rig, and I'm pretty excited about it.

Re: Building a vacuum tube tape preamp
Back when that happened no one had today's phone/photo capability so only the HR people took the pictures. If that same thing happened today it would be everywhere.
