I would guess that after having a rebore, you may need a catheter for a while until that internal wound heals.
Nope, according to what I was told the day after they release me the catheter comes out. I can't wait.
Call that a reamer? This is a reamer...
What has kept CDDA at the top has nothing to do with its value as a format, but rather the fact that greedy stupid people know it and know how to manage it for profit; nothing else.

To affix the plate, I chose a type of glue I had in another room where I do a little modelling.
Yeah right.....hardcore model train builds don't you mean ?
Oh you caught me!
Ooh nice layout. Also don’t get me started on that again
Did anyone go buy that Cologne treasure chest in the meantime?

Well, perhaps. One can also turn this about and say: The longer a given format exists, the better the investment in gear for that format becomes.
Also: Not until CD was 20 years old was the technology, pricing, and adaptation well advanced enough that lots of people could consider moving their most-listened tracks to file-based storage. And then to 128Kbit mp3, tops! Some years more and there was Vorbis and FLAC and other more encumbered formats. Quality-wise up to the arrival of FLAC there simply was too much to lose in going compressed, unless some very careful design decisions were made.
The radio company where I worked between 2008 and 2016 had 48KHz 256Kbit MPEG2 as standard format for stereo tracks (24bit 48KHz linear stereo, ie 2.1Mbit, for recording music) all that period. This was feasible because encoding was made with some very clever hardware encoders that were capable of squeezing all possible quality from the MPEG system. This choice of course was related to the fact that the playout platform required a Hitachi FC SAN with SMB NAS heads to work properly, and then bytes are very expensive...
Therefore, unless someone had invented perpendicular recording drives earlier, digital music simply was not ready for the file transfer paradigm. That and the fact that it takes ages to download music using a modem!
I think that the storage angle on the problem is well explained by the fact that CD-R was a very popular format for file transfer.
You should read up on this Occam guy. Told you before, and the reasons keep stacking up...

Anyway distractions aside from TE, a TE related post finally.
So I was going to work on a GPSDO so the plan was to do something fancy with microcontrollers as well but seeing as Cerebus thoroughly cornered the market with that one I thought I'd go back to basics and do something old school. Thus I have in my possession some 74hc4046's and 74hc390's and am going to build a good old fashioned PLL that will lock to a 1pps signal. I don't have anything that will kick out a 1pps signal at the moment so the plan is:
1. stuff the ref out on the 5384A into the back of the DG810 ref in so I have a consistent reference.
2. Get the DG810 to generate the 1pps signal.
3. Lock an independent OCXO module to it with a stack of 74hc390 dividers and the 4046 as the phase detector.
4. Observe the phase locking with a scope
5. Observe frequency difference with the 5384A
6. Try and develop a lock indicator for it.
Only horrible thing is the time constant for a 1pps loop filter is horrible so this is going to mean watching second long pulses shooting past each other like snails .
Assuming worst case it's possible that the phase lock could take a couple of days to happen if both clocks are fairly close but out of phase
10KHz timing module would be nicer!!! Any suggestions?

We have successfully managed to spend almost the entirety of the last two pages in some way or another obsessing over med's junk. Well done TEA!!!

Also, a special "Thank you!" to med for being such a good sport aboot it.
