Since I couldn't go on their FIRST NORTH AMERICAN TOUR, this:

I hope you didn't mix in any valuable antique Shaker baskets with the dime store ones. 🤓

I hate that 2014 was 12 years ago already.

Did I say twenty (fucking) seven wicker baskets? I MEANT thirty-fucking-one! Three more pictured here, and one that is being used as a base for a fake house plant. 🙄🤣

Controversial for certain, and an utter moron in every interview I've seen of him. A rasist, a redneck and a convicted felon, but I'll argue the "decent songwriter" comment. The man could paint a picture like few others. How you can be so idiotic in interviews yet write such poignant lyrics is beyond me. Listen to "If That Ain't Country" and tell me if set a vivid mood.

David Allan Coe croaked. I have mixed feelings about this one. DAC was a jackass and utterly full of shit, for many decades. He annoyed other country legends like Waylon. He recorded an album in 1982 with some very questionable lyrics. On the other hand, he had quite a good voice and could write decent songs when he wanted to. Fittingly, he died on Willie Nelson's 93rd birthday. This song sums up his whole career for me. Kind of idiotic and cringe inducing lyrics and gratuitous name-dropping, yet it's also a goddamn earworm. I first heard it on a cassette I had in the 1980s. It had a bigger impact on me than I could imagine.

Not the worst Doors cover. Not the worst vampire movie. Call it even.

I would be more tempted to just replace the regs with the smd GRLV. Losing the Meanwells would mean losing their any-voltage capability. And it would be difficult to fit a transformer in there. Possibly one of the PC mount units, but then you have to accommodate voltage conversion, etc.

And nobody made a "from Head-Case to Basket-Case" joke? Yer slippin', HC! 🧺

Fan made C&H remixes are brutal.

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.
