Proper tools for a proper job! You know how foot nails change when you pass 50!

What's on the Christmas list this year? (no electric mowers)

Well, Huzza to @restorer-john for starting one of the most fun threads in the last days.
A present in itself.

Say one time more "guys". I dare you. I double dare you!

A sierra LX to use as a center channel on its side. I'd have built something but she likes the finish from ascend better....

Oe, I did get something cool for my daughter for Sinterklaas: a SonicWave Liven Lofi-12 sampler. I picked up a 2nd had one for a very nice price:

It even has a 12-bit mode and does max 24k sampling Sounds amazing though. It's truly magical how much DSP fairy dust you get for the money I'm pretty sure she won't use all the functions of the device just yet, but should give her a fun experience discovering music-making.

@voodooless Here's a little add-on that could be fun. Only two days left on the $40 for $1200 of software sounds bundle deal. These guys are for real, not scam, a charity.

You need to try to get past the 'guys' thing and see how fast they go!

...and she's buying?

During the woke pc decades, mandatory sensitivity-training for TecnicalStaffMembers included taboo on using the words "you guys" during meetings.
I hated being PoliticallyCorrect, so I adopted to intentionally use 'Uze Guyz' in meetings... and got away with it!

I couldn't believe how many times he said it. But, it was a cool video, so he's forgiven.

This was actually what she wanted.
When speaker shopping she'd say things like "those sound good, but what about the bigger ones next to them"

 

[Balle Clorin]

I already bought
1.Jico SAS/B and a hyper elliptical for my Shure V15 IV
2. And this test record to measure cartridge VTA

3, and I am getting my Denon DP-51F recapped
And then my 25Y anniversary/xmas gift from my employer company is spent

Preordered this knife in green titanium.

[digitalfrost]

got too many fingers?

I've needed stitches 7 times, but so far I still got them all

Golf lessons.

My golf game is in much greater need of improvement than my hifi system.

Is your use-case solely for audio testing purposes (for such a 'waveform' generator)?
It appears that the default loading on the RF (BNC) inputs is 50ohms. Its bandwidth extends out to 30MHz and it provides some complex (built-in) modulation capabilities.

I've got a UTG962E, same unit except 60MHz. The 932 can be hacked to 60MHz anyway.

It's great for a small, benchtop USB connected and full PC controlled (optional if you want- see virtual control panel images below) AFG. Switchable 50R or High Z, lots of relays and it works really well. Small AFG memory which is volatile- so no persistence with a waveform you created.

THD is good enough for non-critical benchwork/repair work, but not useful for serious audio testing. see here:

What is on your workbench right now?

At the moment it looks to me as if I can no longer please anyone in the forum with my answers. Bad times!

Out of interest, because I wanted to know what it was actually about, I googled it and saw the price. In the end, it's probably more about the sound of these guitars. Isn't it?
I once had a Yamaha acoustic guitar with steel strings myself, but it was a simpler model.

Wish me luck. I'm driving to Long Island today to get this job done and I hope to come back with something inspiring. I made a video of me playing and discussing the FG9 M and may share it with y'all if you're nice.

A Neurochrome Modulus-686 Safe-n-Sane (built by Tom Christiansen) for me and a Bernina 535 for my wife. I think we’ve got the next 10 Christmas holidays covered.
