oldschool@tubes.com: Sep 08 03:05AM -0400 15 NOS Rubycon 100uf, 160v Electron Transfer Black Gate NH Capacitors, are up to $2141.00 bid (plus shipping), on ebay, with 3+ days left to go.   I know these are supposed to be the best caps, but are these caps made out of gold? Why would anyone pay that much for them? (and the bidding is not over yet).   http://tinyurl.com/y955cgq6     If thats out of your price range, you can always buy one VINTAGE NOS (untested) Sprague .022 uf 200v 20% Bumble Bee Capacitor for $39 (shipping included), as a Buy it Now.   http://tinyurl.com/y9pxm6xh

Folks pay all sorts of crazy money for things they want. These are 100uf at 160V, and they're bipolar. Maybe for some magical crossover network perhaps.     As for the second link, it's a "buy it now". Asking isn't the same as getting.

It is suspose to be some special type of oxygen free copper. They do not take into account that there is probably 25 to 100 feet of regular wire going to the breaker box and all the other junk wire from there to the power company.   Even some old stock solder made at a certain place is going for big bucks.     While I am not a wine drinker, I bet the audio people and the wine people are about the same. Audio people can not tell the difference in the equipment. Probably over 90% could not tell one wine from the other if in a glass and not a bottle. Some goes for a few bucks and others are auctiioned off for thousnds a bottle.

Monoisotopic lead will promote more uniform conduction. Achieving this is similar to the process used to enrich uranium. Or, you could start with an intrinsically monoisotopic element like gold.

"Danny D." <dannydiamico@gmail.com>: Sep 08 12:11AM Anyone know if saturation by carbon dioxide has a time constant? http://i.imgur.com/MSm72Tp.jpg   Swirling seems to work with these 2L bottles, where I mix 4 degrees C (or about) water under 30 psi CO2 pressure (or about) for about 10 minutes per bottle (give or take) because I assume "diffusion" is slow; but is diffusion slow, or is it (nearly) instantaneous? http://i.imgur.com/gUJnLk3.jpg   Anyone have experience with how long it should take for carbon dioxide to diffuse into the surface layer of water, and then to diffuse deeper if I don't swirl?   If I just plug it in for a few minutes, the water isn't bubbly enough.   If I leave it for an hour, two things that are bad happen: 1. I lose CO2 because my connections are imperfect, but worse, 2. The water warms up (meaning it will hold less C02).   If you don't know whether the diffusion "should" be instantaneous or if there is some kind of pragmatic coefficient, that's OK. It works.   I just don't know what I'm doing and why. Do you?

To get an idea of speed put a drop of food coloring into water.   George H. (*I'm not sure about water, but I mixed up my own tanks of gas for a CO2 laser and it took weeks to diffuse... surprised the hell out of me.)

A few years back I acquired a couple of 100MHz analogue 'scopes. A Hameg and an Iwatsu. Both were decent enough 'scopes and the Hameg manual was available easily enough, but the Iwatsu presented a problem. I contacted the manufacturer and a full service manual appeared in my inbox within days. No charge. I was surprised and delighted.   FWIW: My second CRO was an Hitachi. It was almost an exact copy of a Tektronix, ca. 1963-ish. All valves. Lots of them. Even had a bunch of valves in the delay line. Damned thing consumed 500 Watts. Not a smart purchase for Australia and for a young guy whose workshop measured around 8 Square Metres.   I understand though.     -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au

This was a failure that ideal, not of the legislature. All ideals fail at the edges; that's why we call them ideals.
