Started watching Lanterns (HBOMax). Pretty good so far (1st episode). I've never been much into the comic book stuff (Spiderman, et. al.), but enjoyed Watchmen (movie and series) and am liking this one so far. https://youtu.be/7UIBOsuUwc4 Also watching Reacher s4, mentioned above. Dialog is still cringeable, but watched the first 3 episodes and still enjoyed them. Will continue watching.

Wagner orchestral excerpts were one of my favorites to play when I was in an orchestra. But yeah, he was pretty abominable from all accounts. My handle comes from his last opera, Parsifal. The overture from that was a study in my music theory class. Sounds nice and demur, but was actually atonal as hell.

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.

That's too bad. I guess that makes sense as to why he stepped down from leading SFO. Edit 2: I just bought the SFO recordings of the Mahler 2nd and 8th. Listened to the 2nd last night and pretty good. Trumpets don't match the CSO (at least old), and I still didn't like some of his tempos, but not bad at all. The mezzo-soprano, Lorraine Hunt-Lieberman was on this recording and her 4th movement is the best I have heard.

Also, I have been thinking about doing a revised layout for this amp, but adding some things such as Kevin's protector board, and possibly adapting the circuit used by nwavguy in the o2 for battery management to delay startup until the 2 Meanwell bricks had both come up, since this is what is causing the large DC offsets at startup (and possibly at shutdown as well). I know the protect board would take care of the startup issue so might be overkill for the additional circuit. The board would have to be larger in size to accommodate these changes, which should also have some benefits thermally. Large heatsinks for both the Amb regs and the onboard regs would also be a good idea. This is just at concept phase right now, and I'm not really interested in on for myself, but might do it anyway. If so, I will ask Kevin for permission to use his protect board circuitry for this.
