Folks, only yesterday I dodged a 600 Euro deal for a member on such a website as it was just a bit too nice. Be careful, for sure ask for a name and address. In this case the scammer used a name of a French woman (identity theft) and the usual gmx.net mailaddress but an address in another country. Also "she" advised to use PayPal for friends. After asking for a name and address the tone immediately became unpleasant as they are in a hurry to steal your money.

Accepting this deal would have meant no support by gmx.net and no support by PayPal so money gone!

This is how synchronized volume control works . Of course being a hopeless idiot I took a loan and bought a dac too.. .To enlarge Adams family of devices. At least ,once I harvest all those red Black Gates I recoup a little bit of dough. Dac is hopeless as well but it looks business ( outside )

Notice the resistor by the power cord hanging there. My guess is to lower the voltage. Two 5ar4 tube rectifiers no less. Crap , it also has that damn PDM100 HDCD chip which I'm trying to unload through X-Dac . Hopefully nobody will buy it . I know I wouldn't🙂

It's inevitable. My friend Henning , German auto engineer on contract in US, married Brazilian girl here and they both went to visit Germany . Afterwards I asked him how was the trip . He said first day he parked his SUV Merc at front of his apartment building an old lady opened the window and yelled at him that he either park perfectly square and parallel in the parking spot or she is calling Police 🙂 That immediately made him feel at home haha Greetings!
