Ya commercial operators still require a CVOR and testing. Truck inspection stations inspecting the trucks again apparently.
A good time at a small venue concert with Jefferson Starship! Seating capacity 750.

Correct - even though "low latency" BT 5.0, I found it still has so much delay it's unusable for conveying real time audio to an amplifier. Perhaps along with an RIAA box, I can make a BT connected turntable out of it...
re: plates and stickers. In Nova Scotia you have to renew registration every 2 years and you get a sticker that goes on the license plate, which shows the new expiry date. This has nothing to do with insurance or safety inspection. One is required to have proof of insurance but there is no external evidence.
Safety inspection is renewed after 5 years for new cars (as I recall) then every two years. It used to be annual. That is a sticker on the windshield. If you get stopped with expired MVI it's a pretty big fine. If you fail an inspection the garage can issue you a "failed" sticker which lets you drive for a couple of weeks while you get the issue fixed (or find a mechanic whose judgment is different). They can also pull the sticker and refuse to even issue a "fail", in which case the only legal way to move the vehicle is to get it towed.

Only thing getting in the general vicinity of "low latency", high bandwidth and wireless would be wi-fi. But even with a good setup you may get spikes of 40ms between two units. You do get wireless microphone systems that are really good, so I'd say that if you want low latency use UHF transmitter/receiver.
Perhaps you've never heard of AptX Low Latency? https://www.aptx.com/aptx-low-latency
40ms from bluetooth 🙂

I bought 1 KG of capacitors for 15 Euro. Various values, all sorts of voltages. Including WIMA caps, X2 caps and lots of Russian caps.
Nice!
I like reading about all the good finds, helps me keep my garage from getting full.
We bought some apple trackers to put in our kid’s backpack, so we know when the school bus is coming.

Teenager owned?
Bought an aftermarket Pfanstiehl needle for the ADC 660 phono cartridge I'm trying to sell. Maybe someone will buy it if I can say it plays records, versus "it needs a new needle"...
I still have the pair I bought new in the 70's. I dragged them out of a box packed long ago last night for use in a small music synthesizer software lab. Sound quality is not the prime criteria here since this is where I am writing and debugging code for Teensy and Daisy modules. If the Minimus didn't survive the long sleep, I have a pair of small Cerwin Vega satellite speakers that I got at a thrift store for $5. They are known to work but are bigger.

No actually he was about my age I think. Said he just didn't have the space for it anymore.
Good luck what that Pfanstiehl stylus... I've found every one I've ever tried were literally worse than a Groove Tool. The OEM stylus is 15$...

And you can get 10 crappy aftermarket ones for 20$ too!

That's funny- when you wrote 'groove tool', I was thinking a gouge(V-chisel)
What I got yesterday is only audio-related as in "Yee-Haaa!" A 2001 Rocky Mtn RM6- rode one twenty years ago, but they are scarce here on the other side of the continent.
Actually, got it more for the "uh-oh!"

At one time back in the day I had 8 Minimus 7s, 4 in each vehicle. One set was assisted by an old Large Advent as a subwoofer in the rear hatch.
The tweeters in those things always bugged me, so in my work truck I ended up replacing them with McIntosh tweets (whatever they were using back in the '80s), which were much smoother. 🙂

I hooked the Minimus 7's up last night and also found the tweeters too harsh for listening to music. I tried three different Lepai chip amps and two different 12 volt wall wart supplies, all with similar results. The 7's might be just the ticket for finding aliasing in my digital synthesizer experiments, but I am going to try the Cerwin Vegas before going much further down this road. Everything sounds great with a pair of budget Sennheisers plugged directly into the Focusrite Scarlett.
