    Lockdown extended

    If I were to stand with one leg in a bucket filled with boiling water and the other in a bucket filled with ice, according to the average I'll be quite comfortable  :whistler: There is just too big a difference in the statistics available worldwide to deem it to be reliable/accurate.  For any...

    Wine

    I'm not knowledgeable about desert wines but enjoy an off-dry from time to time such as a Boschendal Le Bouquet or perhaps Bukettraube (?Cederberg).  We had a vegetarian red curry with coconut cream tonight and opened this: Our wine stach is currently either ''easy drinking'' or more...

    Wine

    I really like all of the wines from Cederberg estate nextdoor to Driehoek.  Same winemaker.  He also makes wines for Ghost Corner  :thinking:

    Wine

    During the lockdown we had Robertson Chenin Blanc and Shiraz "box wine" and it was quite nice, and some Fairview Goats do Roam (always enjoy it) in a box... 3l for R180 if memory serves  :thinking: .  For a special occasion we had this Burgundy blend which I really enjoyed.

    What have you forgotten

    Absolutely.  Could have done a lot more around the house.  Only now noticed that my woodworking router is not working any more  :nfi:    I'm actually looking for perspex sheets, say  H800xW1200mm to attach to the front of the desks in my office reception area?

    DIY projects, 4 week deadline

    Bought a second hand Behringer DCX 2496 some time ago, thought it would be interesting to play around with when trying different crossovers. So I looked through my stuff and found some drivers I'm  going to use for 2 way speakers.  Nothing audiophile, the mid bass(?) driver is actually no...

    The SA Reserve Bank has cut the repo rate by 100 basis points, or one percentage

    Saw somewhere that the number of jobs created in the USA in the past 10 years since the previous meltdown has been lost in the past 4 weeks  :Ooooooh:.    Can't see that interest rates will increase any time soon, but that's just my opinion, not really based on knowledge or background

    Thx, will check.  It is exactly the some on left and right currently.  I could understand this if the valves weren't seated.....  Let me start by checking connections, will also replace both valves.  Pentode Voltages (both) are perfect according to the circuit description.  Thx again,  will PM...

    Wine

    I prefer red wine, usually Bordeaux or Cape blends.  Single cultivars I like full bodied Pinotages and Cab Francs.  Had a Raats Cab Franc not long ago that was really nice :thumbs:  Pet hate of mine is when they bring me "warm" red wine in a restaurant  :nono: One of my recent favourites...

    I'd appreciate some help, please.  My amplifier build has gone very well so far with the Pentode cathode, plate and screen as well as the Triode cathode voltages measuring PERFECTLY.  Only problem I have is the Triode plate (pin 9) measures 274 Vdc instead of 100Vdc :walled:  I used a doubler...

    :Ooooooh:,  not gonna show you  mine then  :ROFLMAO: Impressive build the Vanguard is... While checking the grounding on the small SE amp I'm building I noticed that the 250kOhm Pot is connected to earth?  Is there any benefit in isolating it as pin "3" on the Pot is also connected to earth...

    So I checked out the transformer and it seems to be working perfectly :rubhands:.  Most components (except valve sockets and terminal strips) are repurposed or leftover from previous projects.  But the rattle can paint is new.... Rustoleum Cobalt Blue Metallic :ROFLMAO:.  The paint is dry to...
