HBO and HBO Max are streaming Howard Stern's interview that includes a lot of Bruce playing songs solo with a guitar or at the piano. It sounds great and is touching and interesting.

Fun listen. Lots of juicy drum solos.

We all knew this would be a "yes", didn't we? Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass Daphne Blue - Pix of actual guitar sent from Sweetwater. Never found those smaller fingers, so didn't make much progress with the pink guitar yet, but my son got it a few months ago and was noodling around. Well... turns out Fender is doing a promo where you get a "free" Squier starter kit + a year of Fender Play (lessons/app.) Should be here in a few days, but going to hold off until Satanmas, as this may be "my gift" from the fam. We shall see. Probably need a bass amp (that cost more than this much-more-budget-friendly-than-a-PRS-guitar bass). This thing is going to hold SOOOO many clothes.

its still 2 boxes. but sure if you want to build it that way.

Just read about a company that 1) restores older Apogee ribbon speakers, and 2) makes their own in the same tech vein.... I liked some of the old Apogee's, so was nice to hear this. Clarisys Audio is the name....

nope, going to need two boxes. no easy way to stack the front end board onto the heatsinks. the 2 boards will take up much of the bottom. zero feedback generally ends up with a lower damping factor. so to boost the damping factor need more output transistors in parallel. and the sanken parts are actually 2 die in each package. and are to3p. i could go to 3 or 4 pairs of output transistors for even lower output impedance. the idea is to drive jbl m2's with the amplification they deserve. not a pair of crown industrial amps. and things like the susvara.

RIP Chris McVie. Very sad. https://pitchfork.com/news/fleetwood-mac-christine-mcvie-dies-at-79/
