No, all else are scared by its presence. They fear ties to the Russian mob, and the possibility of having baseball bats taken to their pins.

What about nerve gas?

I am doing a final listen to a couple 63 Melz for @sqitis this morn, listening to an old Steppenwolf song, Snowblind Friend. Also for a wider range of sound, 3 on E by Vulfpeck.

I usually have a lot of things going at one time, I am trying to fashion a Y splitter out of rosewood for headphone cables. This is in its earliest stages, I need to round the corners more and get rid of excess material. Right now it is also a bit wonky. I did the braid but it is still loose till I get ready to permanently mount the splitter. This is litz wire
inside mesh. Towards the end I will properly twist the wires going to the headphone cups.

That looks like about 12 gauge wire. Hope it's stranded?

Of course it is, high strand count litz. Without the mesh sleeve it is pretty tiny and easily damaged. I started to do 8 strand count with a clear jacket but remembering which wire is which when you braid was more work than I wanted to do.

I was a little afraid a Melz 1578 took out my tube tester but luckily a tube inside the tester failed. Getter holder fell off causing a short so I will repair that soon.

What's the tube number that failed? I might have one (or 20).

6BN8 but they are not expensive, I have some on the way. I thought of asking you but figured I would buy some extras.

Ahhh...the good old diode and two triodes all shoehorned into one little bottle. Glad you found some, 'cause all I have is GE's (which would make your 707 sound terrible). Pretty sure I put one of those GE's in @Ripper2860 's 700, but that was intentional.

It is late, maybe tomorrow I can explain wires. You guys are making my head hurt.

I believe I ordered some RCA's and the way USPS is handling packages now, maybe they will arrive one day. I also ordered the appropriate resistor in a 1% version.
Now I just have to repair a Chinese amp, finish a few things for @FLTWS then on to other projects including assembling the Cowen amp and re-capping my Cary.

Mo' power, mo' bigger. Less power, less bigger.

Is there more?

Well there is skin effect, that would be your body telling you to hold the other end of the soldering iron, many learn that quickly but... And twisted pair, that would be you and a partner dancing to old Chubby Checker records.
