These guys are punks but Chloe schooled them like newbs: A few months later...

It should work, the ratio is a bit higher than the Stax ones. Ultimately it's not about power but voltage in the system or voltage swing rather.

Yeah, around that range, if I'm not wrong it's about 2.5W into 32 Ohm load. I noticed that you have a Sansui variant of the SRD-7, will that work nicely as well?

2-3W or so? That is very much on the low side but it always depends on overall system gain and how loud you listen. A Stax SRD-7 Mk2 should work as the ratio on those is on the high side.

Yeah a couple of months ago I posted about the BHSE but unfortunately the seller went MIA so that didn’t work out lol. I am a bit concerned my main amp, a SET 2A3 amp is a bit on the lower power side. In my experience it can drive the 32 Ohm transformer for RAAL Immanis fine but I don’t have much experience with e-stat interfaces.

It's a brilliant album. I hope it inspired people to check out Giorgio Moroder and other great musicians of the period.

Good transformers are a great way to do that and are definitely getting more popular.

Thanks, I would like to get into stats (particularly the CRBN) but it seems nicer if I can use my existing setup.

The first band that I saw after lockdown -- actually saw in person, that is, I watched a lot of streamed performances -- was Zombi (yes, named after that great soundtrack). They did a pivot recently, into the world of yacht rock covers: https://zombi.bandcamp.com/album/zombi-friends-volume-1 Highly recommended

I love that album, it won 5 Grammys including Best Album. I remember Nile Rodgers commenting that it was the first dance album to win a Grammy since "Saturday Night Fever."

Rhapsodies by Léopold Stokowski (1961) https://open.qobuz.com/album/qy7npo4bfqa9b Example: Not the version I am listening to - but it is fun.

Spring is the perfect time to get out on long rides before the staggering summer heat comes my way. LOVING the 40mm tires. They are maybe a little sluggish on accelerations but they ride so smooth and are ace on descents. I'm also starting to love climbing on this thing. You really have no choice but to put down the power once the grade gets to be over 8-9% and you are already in the little cog.

I have a (not so) secret soft spot for yacht rock. That one blonde backup singer looks familiar, it's almost like she has... TV appearances that aren't lip syncs are a treasure.

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk (2013) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0886443927087 Example: Some testing - so I might as well have fun.

Jeremy Dutcher - Tiny Desk "Jeremy Dutcher came to the Tiny Desk with sparkling, purple streams of glitter draped around his shoulders. Then he set his iPad on our Yamaha upright piano, not to read his score as pianists do these days, but to play a centuries-old wax cylinder recording of a song sung in the incredibly rare language of Wolastoq."

I love Charles Bradley! One of the many great finds from Daptone Records.

A fellow Roy Khan fan on another forum showed me this one.

Watched the OKC Comets (AAA Club of Dodgers) lose 3 - 2 to the Tacoma Rainiers. Have not been to a Baseball game in ages. It was a lot of fun.

A little gem I bought in London

With no inside pics it is hard to tell but I had the Mk1 and it was utter trash and dangerous to the end user. There are pics here somewhere of that but yeah, utter garbage

Goddamn size queens.

Is this Soltanus drive unit any good? https://www.soltanusacoustics.com/electrostatic-headphone-driver-unit-mk-2/
