Nothing to stop you driving from Class A. Lowest distortion configuration because no crossover non-linearities. I had a Krell KSA100mk2 for many years, which sounded great, gave a hernia to lift it, and it blew up twice to the extent that flames were imminent. It burned clean through the board at one stage when 2nd breakdown killed the power transistors, which killed the drivers and the emitter loads for the drivers burnt through the board. Great fun, but I tend to like non-exciting technologies now; um like the STM-T2 clone

I think he was implying that you could hang more laundry on a larger frame so you chose poorly.

Of course

So 2 months ago, I placed an order, but didn't mention it because I didn't have a ship date. Today I got a package. 2018 Lynskey Pro GR Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Side benefit of all the late snow, the ability to snowshoe with the kids. Got andrew out for a little walk in the woods this afternoon.

Class A or death!!!!

I've always been curious about this one... Matador is re-releasing the Exile in Guyville on May 4, but I'm not sure if the remastering will be a step forward, backward, or sideways, considering how well the original was regarded: https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/03/liz-phair-announces-25th-anniversary-exile-in-guyville-box-set/ Metric – Grow Up and Blow Away

There might be albums out there that are as good, but I am doubtful there are any that are better.

Though i'm pretty happy with Anaview class-D amps paired with compression drivers in my current setup, i still recall with horror how bad the old icepower Rotel amps sounded driving ESL63's so try before buying (the new quads are basically improved esl63's as far as i understand) The best amp i ever tried with the esl63 were an old 200w class A/B sumo andromeda, so my bet would be something powerful but neutral sounding. when i tried tubes on them it always sounded to soft and polite.

It's a pretty enjoyable show. The story changes don't irritate me too much, given that it's been a LONG time since I read the books (when they were new).

The Mrs. went to UVA. There had been some big talk about brackets etc. It's quiet tonight ...

Fixed.....

Oh come on, you have to go big or go home, what's this "Jr" nonsense? You want the "corrupt regional government official"-priced system, complete with the Bladerunner brothel-looking amp! Moar shinies=moar bettar. So what if neither the amp nor the drivers will last very long, you'll be too busy shopping for private jets to notice.

The other hidden benefit of the UK Royal Family is the number of good works they do. The charity my wife runs has a Patron. That used to be the Queen Mother, but is now Countess Wessex (wife of the Queen's youngest son). She is not just a title - she is massively engaged with the charity, most recently hosting a fund raising dinner at her house (Bagshot Park). But - that is only one of 70 charities she is patron of. That is absolutely gratis, and multiplying the effort for my wife's charity by 70 and you get pretty much a full-time job. And she is not unique - everyone in the Royal Family does this sort of thing, and is absolutely priceless to the good causes they support.

Tonight, salad.

Here's one I wish I could have seen. Max Richter's 8 hour performance of Sleep. https://www.sxsw.com/music/2018/announcing-u-s-debut-max-richters-sleep-sxsw-2018/

Good follow-up... the player is picking well Including this gem...

If we were ever to think about how much money we pour into this stuff then we'd be sure to take up substance abuse... as it is much cheaper.

Well not exactly.... here's a rendering of my design - in this drawing the copper is just a flat tan color, try to visualize it polished up shiny..... ...something like this Hagerman Cornet phono stage I put together.
