    Optical phono cartridge!

    Jim, the name is a bit deceiving. The optical portion refers to the system replacing moving magnets/coils. It still plows through the record with a stylus.

    Well....OK then - what needs to be done...!

    Waves from Slovenia

    Serbus, Andrej! @NavLinear, I confess; I'm a bit dissapointed. I thought the babe was for me only, but it turns out, she attends to all Slovenians?! Oh, well...at least there's not so many of us. Borut

    Say it aint so

    @Mohawk, I know who Jim Carrey is. I meant the other other dude...the one not Gary Oldman.

    I remember Max Headroom. Who's the other dude?

    Damn Mouse Pointer keeps flying around

    Yeah, tell me about it! I have an old Compaq Presario laptop with Win10 PRO and the newest touchpad driver limits its functionality. I googled that shit too...ad nauseam. Finally I discovered the Windows-updates-show-hide tool to block unwanted updates. You can check it out:

    what are you listening to?

    I'm in jumping-around mood, so...screw you, osteoporosis!

    For the first time 120.000 watt in a single device!

    Oh, for thereabouts kinda doe, I'll just go with 1.280.000 Watts more in a single device! Sorry, J!m, it's a pass as well - Brembo onboard.

    Now you just have to include a record with it for the new owner... ;)

    Funny pictures...

    A good one!...although Lo-Fi at best. Everyone knows that gold purity and frequency go hand in hand. So, I'll wait for 24K(Hz) ones...might even clean the tape path of my cassette deck with them - sure wish I'd own a Nakamichi 1000 ZXL Limited in gold to complement them.

    500 miles?...bloody hell! Where I am from (Slovenia), such a radius (air line, though) covers a "handfull" of countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czech...

    Better stock up for your DBT

    It's not only chicken eggs LEDs are no good for... ...but I don't care either way!

    what are you listening to?

    I actually like it!...Yoko Ono producing sound and Ivry Gitlis trying to keep a straight face. And how about them ponchos?!

    You seem to be on a lucky streak...beatiful wood under the grey-industrial-finish...inverter/EL-foil working! - Lottery-Jackpot is only a matter of time. Love what you're doing...respect!

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    Done already...I couldn't handle the packs of sausages running in for a treat. I think you made a good choice: Sinuslike AC.

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    I don't know how bright it originally was, but I'm sure even if you get an original inverter, or one with same specs, it won't reach original brightness - foils are old/original, probably. Their brightness halves in the ballpark of 5.000 hours. I understood you are fixed on frequency, but...

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    Yes, brightness increases with frequency as well as with voltage...lifetime is shortened, though. Decrease voltage to test.

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    I believe EL foils in general start to wake up at about 20VAC. My inverter works with 5VDC and puts out 110 VAC, I tend to remember...no clue about frequency anymore. A good read for a layman like myself, particulary the "hum" notice...yep, should have come across this earlier...although it...

    Nope, just the 200 S-line is EL-iluminated.

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    If the precut foil is to expensive (Revox, for example, demands an arm and a leg...100 ++ smackaroones and others still 60-70-80) you buy a larger one, cut it accordingly and isolate/seal the edges or laminate it. You may look out for foils with multiple contacts - it may be even cheaper...
