Funny but not the same.
When Stalin gets the letter he wants to show it to everyone. So he steps into the hall, but it is empty, the street.. the same. Finally he wanders down to the square where a single fellow is scrubbing the streets. He shows him the letter to prove he has won the day. Then he asks "Where is everybody."
The street sweeper says " Comrade I am afraid that even with the progress we have made with socialism they are still at home secretly celebrating Christmas."
"And why are you here?"
"Well you see I used to be Jewish."
"And what do you think of the letter."
"Well comrade you must understand Trotsky also used to be Jewish."
"And how does that affect the letter?"
"Well you have to read it right." It really says "I was wrong!!!, you were right?"
(A joke better verbalized.)
As a quick beside and a thank you. I do some PVC molding using partial heating with halogen lamps. Bubbles are a recurring problem, even at what I measure to be way below the decomposition temperature of PVC. This must be it.
As a general question, I hope Stuart can shine his light on it: what are the water absortion qualities of PVC, and if it could be problematic heat forming in his way, how to dry it? I always assumed there would be a sort of O-Cl-F continuum with respect to water absortion, but perhaps I was wrong and this may solve a long harboured question.

Vac, PVC definitely needs drying. It's not as hygroscopic as nylon, but before compounding, you have to get it dry (and keep it dry) or you get bubbles and hydrolytic decomposition.
The C-F bond is far less labile than C-Cl or C-Br.

British whimsy at it's best! Nothing to do with a vibrating glass tube and sand...except in some geographical locations; at least that is what I am told.😱
Just double-checking, there will be a part two of "Low-noise Microphone Preamplifiers" in an upcoming Linear Audio ?

Would be REALLy great if I could buy your mags on line and pay with Visa!
PayPal does not work in my case.
:-(
And Richard Burwen, explaining how tweaks that cannot work can still lead to audible differences.

Yes, I'm just very conservative about such stuff. I'll get over it someday, cause I'm desperate to read Vol. 2.
Thanks,
Chris
Just remember, you spilled the beans, not me. 😀
I would give several vital organs to spend some time listening to Burwen's setup. The photos on his website are astonishing.
