It came the same day (Thurs 3/19) as the TT2 tapes, extremely well packed as it should always be. 5 wraps of bubble wrap in a heavy box, placed in a slightly larger box with styrofoam sheet and blocks and those air pillow thingies.
I plugged it in (de riguer at casa stuwee for all SS equipment of unknown downtime for a 24 hour warmup) the relay clicks!! Yea! The meters do the salute, I wait.... It was hell getting the custom handmade speaker cables bare wire in the tiny hole slots, nothing stops me when I'm on a mission . I hooked up the 'Logans to the little dear rated at only 50 watts @8ohm, 55@4ohms. I made a tape of The Police "Synchronicity" that I bought new in '83, A&M LP to a Maxell XLII-S, at first it was bright with no bass, I went outside for a ciggie and I heard it come 'on song'. I come back inside, yep, it's warmed up and singing Sting's plucked electric bass . The cymbal's now ring proper and decay nicely in the studio space recorded ![]() .It's not as killer as the Yamaha, it wasn't made to be either, but it's very impressive as it sits and plays. I guess my memory ain't so bad after all, I picked a good' un way back when, lost it and found it again I never pushed the excellent meters over 50 watts, I never heard clipping or compression. Though it did get quite warm with the Denon on top of it. I heard the signature MOSFET warmth, like I said not better than any other amp I have, just different. Question; Do MOSFET's tend to run hotter in low ohm loads? |

Uh Oh! It just got quiet! It's in protection, I guess the 'Logans were a bit to much. Drat, it was really sounding sweeet!
The Rod is an inner sleeve from a trashed GW find, I can't remember the LP, it had "I'm Losing You" on it, IIRC. |

Oh no! I was wondering if the Sanyo could take a 4 ohm load!! Is it terminal?
