    WECC 11/13/25 Wyoming Disturbance Review

    There's multiple grids between Northern MX, US & Canada. Western (referenced in video), Eastern & Texas. They are only tied together through DC, not AC.

    WECC 11/13/25 Wyoming Disturbance Review

    Thought people like @OVERKILL would be interested in this. The November 13, 2025, Wyoming grid disturbance triggered a cascading series of line outages that formed an electrical island, causing a rapid system frequency drop to 59.75 Hz. The event resulted in the loss of nearly 5 gigawatts of...

    Small 2 channel audio amplifier connection

    So it was the replacement amp that I had found to have the really low rating (in an incomprehensible fashion). Here's the manual of the replacement: https://pyleaudio.com/Manuals/PDA29BU.pdf Power Rating:

    Small 2 channel audio amplifier connection

    I had searched that amp & had found an old manual that stated 9w rms x 2 @ 10% THD. That's what I based my response off of. When going to the Pyle website there's only the single page generic manual with ratings as you state: I'll browse around to see if I can remember where I dug up that old...

    Small 2 channel audio amplifier connection

    Ok. 34ohms of resistance is quite high. I can also see why the previous amp was damaged being bridged into a 34 ohm load. Being bridged will cut the impedance the amp sees in half. So it’ll effectively see a 17 ohm load. Your previous amp was rated to produce 8w x 2ch at 8ohms. So 16w total at...

    April lubricants industry market update.

    Chevron has always been conservative with the in service OCI. Even the full synthetic ProDS line is 10k when others are pushing 15-20k. Half the OCI for the blend vs the syn just looks like a conservative estimate from a company that hasn't shown to brag or overemphasize its pcmo's.

    Small 2 channel audio amplifier connection

    The previous amp was placed in a "bridged" output state. The manual for the previous amp was very underwhelming and didn't provide if bridging was capable. The previous amp was also rated to a minimum of 4 ohms. When bridging an amplifier, the resistance or load the output section sees is...

    Personal stereo, and perhaps Hi-Fi, journey.

    If you want something that'll "punch above its weight" in vintage, try looking at the Mitsubishi DA-A15DC. 150w/ch dual mono block that's VERY overlooked. Gets nicknamed Darth Vader. There's also optional VU meters available to match it but they're a separate unit (DA-M10). As an aside, if...

    I’m sworn off Davidoff at this point. That was my last one in all the humidors & bins. Big money for iffy qc & the flavor of that one was garbage. I’ll be sticking to the El Gringo for my morning cigar with coffee from here on out
