crazy for a 16 year old chick

A8 is more of everything. It’s actually stronger magnetically than ceramic and since is has ferric (iron) properties has a higher inductance, making it hotter. If using an A8 in a PAF type pickup wound with standard TPL of 50-65, the lows and mids will be more prominent vs a typical PAF.

It’s a holiday all week this week in Japan, but trying to finalize my domestic parts list to start comparisons with metric gauge wire and slightly different magnets.

They lost me after the first Tonex. Horrible software, horrible licensing model, and was about a decade late to the game. Then had to buy a transfer license just to sell it.

The process is still adds unnecessary cost since that’s only part of the problem. Large bundled packages will surely get flagged for import duties and taxes since the threshold is so low here not to mention I’m then paying shipping twice just to get here

Sorry for the prolonged lack of updates. This has turned into a logistical nightmare. Even in the states, I was had to use between 3-5 vendors depending on various orders. It common for one vendor to have standard baseplates, but out of stock with wide baseplates. One would have 4 conductor...

The pickups should still measure about 90% plus in circuit at full volume. You’re measure tip to sleeve?

Not really. Resistance is applicable to DC where’s impedance is more applicable to AC and the impedance is not linear across all frequencies. Impedance measures different at different frequencies will yield different reading.

I’m still trying to get settled. Starting a new life overseas is tedious

That’s why you pay someone to do it for you. It was money well spent. It was about $2k per pet which included the flights, vet health checks in Germany, a person to handle to agriculture/animal import in Tokyo and ground transportation to my new house in Okinawa

They’ve been serving out their last 30 day quarantine before starting their journey last Thursday. Then went from DFW to Frankfurt Germany, then to Tokyo, then Okinawa. They got here Sunday evening. They were very emotional and kept me up most of the evening. I took them to a military vet to...

First obstacle. Me ordering parts USPS First Class is off the table. I ordered some parts shipped first class 4 weeks ago and crickets…… further research indicates 4-6 weeks. Originally Ineas planning to use USPS on the military bases, but they emphasize during orientation that business use is...

That I’d end up in the land of the rising sun……..

Alrighty. I shook the Jet lag (15hr diff). Landed last Sunday. Got ID cards and license on Monday. Furniture shopping Tuesday. Bought a car Wednesday and picked it up Friday and received my household goods Friday as well. New furniture arrived this morning and the rest next week. Had to get...

Surprised if Larry doesn’t try to trademark 50th Anniversary

My last night in the US……

Blake was kind enough to do a magnet comparison on a sunset strip that he bought

It’s not gay if you quit before it’s your turn.

I’ve said before, you right hand technique is insane
