Title: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Thermioniclife on June 07, 2021, 05:51:08 AM
Am I in the Twilight Zone or is everything right in the universe? Very little activity on the forum past few days. It's not that I like it when
people have problems but I've grown used to checking this forum several hundred times a day.

Summer time gets a little sleepy I suppose.

Yeah I didn't think about that. But I am not a summer person, never have been.

I was wondering the same thing Lee. Maybe we both spend too much time here 😜

It keeps me off the streets. My parole officer recommended I get a hobby.

HaHa, I was thinking the thing

It must be time for a new product to drop for us to talk about....
Just sayin  ;D

Hey Deb, I sent you a message through the forum, did you get it? Was just looking for a status report. I lost your direct email.

This is my daily reading adventure. C'mon I need input!  ;D

There are some fresh products on the horizon.  We are awaiting the arrival of just one more part for the next BeePre upgrade, then there will be something different between that and the second upgrade.

Any hints?
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: johnsonad on June 07, 2021, 08:22:46 AM
Something new would be fun, looking forward to it!

It will be something that a fairly broad audience will find interesting, and it will probably be a little unsettling for a few. It will be something that raises the bar and at the same time solves a problem we have been wrestling with. It will be something we actually came up with some time ago, and due to a certain sequence of events it appears that this summer is the right time for it to appear.

Does that stimulate your speculative instincts enough?

Thanks Doc, but that merely wets my imaginative whistle.

Got to love the cryptic reponse :-)

Lee,
I got your message and sent a reponse. Ill pm you my email

Deb gets some special stuff too in the near future, but we can't really talk about that either ;)

Stop with the taunting.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Jay on June 07, 2021, 10:19:06 AM
My guess is a solid state something for lower efficiency speakers:  the Bottlehead "Sand Storm", or "Sex on the Beach" :)
It's probably not a Bottlehead psu/speed controller for ac synchronous motor turntables, but I can hope.
Jay

DocB, that was a near perfect ambiguous response!  ;)

Man, I hate being unsettled.

Now this has escalated to malicious cryptology. I hope you all are having a good laugh at everyone else's expense.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: johnsonad on June 07, 2021, 12:55:09 PM
Debra will post photos, right?? :)  Maybe some custom active crossovers for your new speakers? Just guessing.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Thermioniclife on June 07, 2021, 01:07:25 PM
Well played Aaron, seems like a plausible answer well done indeed. Hey Bottlehead you might as well just admit it!
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Paul Birkeland on June 07, 2021, 01:24:24 PM
Nah, it's tube related, but not exactly audio.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: johnsonad on June 07, 2021, 01:28:44 PM
Extra curious now.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?

The project for Deb has something to do with the history of getting high.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Thermioniclife on June 07, 2021, 02:13:37 PM
Tripoli related perhaps.

It’ll just be a lamp.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Thermioniclife on June 07, 2021, 02:24:05 PM
Perhaps De Laval or Berrnoulli's principal of fluid dynamics? I know I am a geek.
Title: Re: Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Post by: Thermioniclife on June 07, 2021, 02:43:32 PM
Maybe Nitrous Oxide injection as an oxidizer for a rocket motor? We all know Doc that you are hooked on that stuff.

Well, I am glad it is just your whistle that is getting wet!

Purple plates for Deb.  Something tells me if I sent her black ones, she would sand them down and make them purple anyway.

It is actually for a joint project

Now that is very cool!

Wow, that looks great PB.  Is that powder coat or rattle can?

It's some powder I happened to have.  I saw some bright yellow in there and figured if you ordered Monamours, I could use that instead of black ;)

hmmmmm, no thank you.  Keep the yellow for your stat builds :)

A rocket build?  Rockets for your next bike? :)

A cool idea, but no. No rockets allowed in AMA landspeed, only motorcycle engines.

So, you're moving ahead with the Igniton controlled soldiering station?

So I guess my thread stirred up some sleepy people and brought some life back to the forum. My job is done here.

I don't know Lee, a little running conversation is always good ;)

I'm enjoying a little post workout rest by listening to a new record, Johnny Lytle New and Groovy.  Some jazzy vibes on a Friday afternoon.
