Yes, a D means its barely passing..... as meat.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the USA, the USDA doesn't have a Grade D for anything (according to their website). Let me know!

Thanks

For drivers, a pair of these, and probably only these:

For Outputs, likely these:

7241s pack a 7.5A heater punch... may only require a single tube - almost like a pair of 6336s in a single bottle.


Ask @bcowen about his new Fotonic TimeShare TubeStash project.

Amazing ability to peer into the future. Love it!

With fast food restaurants anything can happen. Maybe D stands for a distributor or some such in case the meat needs to be traced or recalled, for the usual reasons.

Could be! I think we all agree that Buyer Be Ware.

Ok I will have to check that out tomorrow for sure. I started the morning rolling tubes and I still have several to go, that could make a great listen.

Not to worry. You'll always be able to find pristine examples in the classifieds for years to come. Just take Folkvangr as a case in point.


Maybe because even after having gotten it to work semi-reliably after the eighth attempt at pairing, it will still sound like Louisiana swamp-a$$ on a particularly muggy summer's day.

If you could get Bluetooth audio to work reliably and have it sound nearly as pleasant as an uncompressed audio stream over a wired connection? Now that might change things.


Sometimes you just gotta suffer a little for the magic.

Speaking of…
Feel free to trust me when I tell you that you're gonna like this guy:



Currently listening to Lissie's album Back to Forever. It's all there, none of the detail is getting lost in all that lush and spacious toobey goodness. It won't punch like the Mjolnir 3 that you're currently enjoying, of course. There's no perfectly tuned chokes and tightly matched transistors in this box after all. Instead, it gently cradles you into the aural equivalent of a big old La-Z-Boy that you can easily dwell in. All. Day. Long.

Turns out that having lived on the floor under a pile of random stuff in the corner of an office for who knows how many years was the way to go for this one. Aged like fine wine.

And a big Thank You! to @Jason Stoddard for making all this Schiit possible in the first place. You know what you've done.

Thank you! Can’t wait. Wondering how the hell it’s gonna be better than the Lyr 1!

As for the New York Post, all-time best headline of any ‘news’paper is …. [15-April-1983.]

Nicole Miller did a necktie with that headline on it. I used to wear it to work! Note that the word “found” is missing…

I vaguely remember the steaks they use to serve in the chow hall were “Grade D but edible”.
I preferred the cheeseburgers but they were just ok.

This was the last time I had Rosti

Where’s the ?!

 

[Rensek]

Class D beef, (if actually graded, most beef isn't), is used to identify the age of the cow/carcass...

Class D is older cows. Likely a bull used for breeding, or in dairy country an old milker that had its production drop...

Grandparents on both sides were dairy farmers in north central Minnesota... if we were eating hamburger it was likely old bessey.. if we ate steaks/roasts/liver/heart it was a younger, neutered bull, kept & fattened for slaughter....

Grades A through E available referring to age..... But again, rarely used these days...
