Has the time come to talk of capacitors?
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.”

But Harry,
Doncha tink that Mr. Dodgsons doggerel is particularly appropo for describing our own personal Voyage of the Snark, that neverending quest for that cabbage (a Z5U, no less!!) that doesn't cause the listener to outgas? That cabbage that makes us feel like a King....

Speaking of cap-age, I think the Inficaps are sealed with wax on the ends instead of epoxy. An really awful attempt to stear the topic back to capacitors that so wrong on many levels..... Off to slay the Jabborwoky and I'm late! I late!

Ah.... a literate member on an audio forum! Who knew?

On Cappage, I think someone mentioned you have to be carefull with caps with the wax if you have to desolder. If I don't watch it, I'll socket everything and try different caps (lol).
I might also have to redo the circuit boards if I change sizes beyond commodity caps too. Ah well.
On Being Rended in the Gobberwarts...
For PMCAP, no, not a Potterism. This is the final line of the poem read to Ford and Arthur by Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in the start of hitchhikers.
Your kids are too old to read Potter!!??
Most of the avid Potter readers are between 25 and 50.
Hey kiddies, remember if you are plying with old caps to beware of the PCB's.
Given my work with solvents, asbestos, PCBs and radiation laden crusty old stuff I'm already well exposed but for all you young healthy diy'ers out there...
On the topic of smelly leaky caps and letting the smoke out, big prizes for the spotter of this obscure bit of rhyme:
"There are whose study is of smells,
And to attentive schools rehearse,
How something, mixed with something else,
Makes something worse."
Have a great evening

please stop or i might wet my pants... really, i dont know anybody at all in any major (including the M-train) that enjoyed their 5+ years at GT.
or 23....can a kid with a crumby gpa and a bsee even get an interview in this world? Maybe the Mexican Air Force is hiring.

I am just finishing up my 4th year, going on to my 5th. I am enjoying it so far. I am planning on continuing grad school at tech, since I am doing research already with a couple of professors. I really like Georgia Tech, once you get past the annoying freshman weedout courses (chemistry and physics).
At the rate I am going now (co-oping), I will be here another 5 years. Is it worth it? I am not sure, but I will keep at it while I am still enjoying it.
As for the job market, I already have a good job now doing digital design (computer architexture co-op job), and as long as you maintain above a 3.0, you should be fine.

I hate to break the news to you, but any idiot can get a job as a recent engineering grad. Hell, I'm living proof of that. The reason is simple:
New engineers work cheap.
Getting that first job is easy; holding on to it is a different story. If you believe that good grades is all you need to guarantee success, then perhaps you should seek refuge in grad school. Problem there is that while you are safely tucked away in grad school, the economy might pick back up to the point where they need to hire old troublemakers like Harry and myself again. Then you might end up with us a your boss.
You don't want to know what that would be like! [joke]

Drew,
Indeed, I am old.... I've just passed the demogaphic cutoff for that majority of HP readers. Memory is starting to fail, hence the lack of recollection of Doug Adam's, R.I.P., work.
Harry,
Dug up some Infinicaps and the endcaps do indeed appear to be sealed with sealing wax....
If these literary allusions persist, I'll have to whip out my copy of the Babb Ballads.
A friend has been having mysterious rectifier blowouts. Lovely sound from the bridge, but pushing close to the limits. Living in the Northeast, our line voltages run about 126v durring the non summer months. In order to keep within the SOAR limitations we've gone to a 30v secondary from a 35v secondary, same VA. Ooops, forgot that drops the source resistance of the tranny. Sooo, I modeled it in Duncan's PS Designer. 69+ amps hitting the bridge at turnon. So, in conclusion -
... it is the very model of a modern solid state rectifier....

I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news---
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
And able to dig out facts in the mist of friovolity..........
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

SOFT?!!!
Mr. P.R. guy (Jocko) said I had to work on my image so that no one will draw any more horns on me. I'm sure someone will get pissed off about the "gratuitous image posting" at any rate.....

Jeez ! This could turn into one of those tree hugging, butt slapping, non-gratuitous image posting, non-beer drinking, motor cycle hating................... kind of fourms.

Funny you should ask.....
I don't know, but Jocko gave me some Cerfines and I am building the TexZen ( Bride of ZEN influenced and with Zetex fets) preamp with all Cerafines, except the supply which will be BC 10000 uF 50V.
