looks like the soft white underbelly of a stereo SUT (step up transformer) to my semi-trained eye (and semi-savvy brain).

Mr. Hardy is absolutely on top of things. It's a home made SUT. Two speed (low and high) with ground lift and "inny" transformers versus external.

ooh, a two-speed! Gotta clutch, or is it a turbo-hydramatic ; - )
Seriously, what kind of transformers are they?
FWIW -- and not that it's all about me ; - ) -- I've got a nice pair of the Silk (Thailand) SUTs I need to assemble into some sort of permanent enclosure... someday.

Automatic. Powerslide.
I built two. Carl got the Cinemag blues and I picked up some used Cinemag reds.

I am guessing that something to do with turntables lol? Correct?

10 - 4 good buddy. A SUT is one way to convert the very low level signal from a LOMC (low output moving coil cartridge) -- often 100 microvolts or so -- up to the normal (several millivolts) level of a moving magnet (MM) cartridge. The SUT's output can then drive a normal MM phono preamp. As a passive device, the SUT should add no noise when it does so.
The other way to step up the output of a LOMC to drive a normal MM phono preamp is with a so-called "head amp" or "pre-pre amp" (or any phono preamp with adequate gain; typically ca. 60 dB) -- these active devices (e.g., Jim Hagerman's "Piccolo") can be pretty good, but will always add some noise and distortion when they do their job.
A really good pair of SUTs aren't cheap, though.
No free lunch, as always.

Did you take that one with the fog? I'd have that framed and hanging on my wall.

Yup, last week -- haven't figured out how to hang pixels on the wall, though ;-)

Ditto - you should frame and hang this one up!
The interplay of the Carassius auratus auratus and the reflection is very nice.

So far, Target is the best place to have digital photos printed in my area. You can bring your photos in on a CD-R, thumbdrive, SD card, microSD. They turn out awesome. They have two choices, something like "in house" and "professional". That may not be what they call them, but one is basically a computer printer and the other is a huge piece of equipment/printer that does an amazing job. You can select whatever size you want. Bigger sizes are extremely pricey!

There's a big art show every year in Louisville the first weekend in October. There's a guy that combines two black and white photos, that used to show his work there. I've got a bunch of his work matted and framed on the wall. These aren't the best quality scans.

Herm... Try walgreens.... They can do canvas prints as well and they look great.
I've had them do a bunch of stuff on canvas for my wife."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -

My weekend project:
-
5.4 in a 2001 Ford F-150 4x4. Cracked plastic intake manifold and a blown out spark plug. Was the family hunting truck / boat & camper hauler, but now will be son's transportation for school and dates. Thankfully, I didn't have to twist his arm to get him to help with the project.

The shop is actually bigger than the house. About 2550 sqft (68' x 38'). It has a casita inside as well. The house has it's own 2.5 car garage.Source: Bluesound Node 2i - Preamp/DAC: Benchmark DAC2 DX - Amp: Parasound Halo A21 - Speakers: MartinLogan Motion 60XTi - Shop Rig: Yamaha A-S501 Integrated - Shop Spkrs: Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2

You have grass in AZ?

Surprisingly we do, now that we're out of town; but it's seasonal grass brought on by the monsoons.
