I added the extra pink foam sheet when it left here. You practically have to sit on the case to engage the flight latches. Trust me, I could throw that off my roof unto the driveway and it would just snicker

I hope so, coz that's exactly wot some carriers do, and heaven forbid if u mark it 'FRAGILE'....
 
How's it goin laz? You liking it more or less. Each day changed for me!!
until I left it on all the time. Then after that it shined the whole time.
and the more I've been listening to the sx-1250 I think the sx-939 has a better overall sound!!! What's your take on that nando?

More. More. MORE!

So far:
It burns ~45 watts at idle (input).
it puts out about 30 watts on peaks at volumes I can tolerate.
I like the way the gain pots ramp up the volume s-l-o-w-l-y, very appreciated at this power level.
This amp is well mannered at power on & off - no snaps or thumps.
I like the way it makes notes sound so much more real than other amps, especially percussion & the initial attack of a drum/percussion note - this amp is articulate, lively, and agile.
The dynamics/dynamics are addictive.
This amp is not well suited for anything but rack mounting.

well said laz. i agree with almost all of that !!!:iconbiggrin:
 
The rack mounting part.....If Laz likes the dynamics of the quasi, the FC will kick his little patootie...
 
Laz, the initial edge of a percussion note is very dependent on slew rate or rise time. An amps ability to respond to a note of music , especially a loud percusion note takes a fast rise time and headroom....somethging the WOPL has in spades. When I was in Phoenix at Steve Evans place, after he let the Silver Shadow 400 warm ip he played some drums and percussion stuff that was incredible from a " how the F&^% does that guy do that" perspective. Steve had a shit-eating grin the whole time saying" That's exactly what that sounds like live".. The drummer was amazing and very fast, a lot of atarts and stops, and Steve said that's the first time he heard it reproduced like that, and he has owned a LOT of high dollar amps...that was the 400 I FC'd and WOPL'd to the hilt and built the copper heatsinks for, he also supplied blackgates for the driver board and it was and still is a phenomenal amp.....
 
The 700 had feet to before the tour began, albeit little ones that could be rubbed off..
 
That timeline is fine...it's gonna be awhile before I can work on mine..
 
There's one more thing I meant to say about the WOPL I'm listening to: I noted the 16-gauge lampcord on this (almost) 500-watt amp, and quickly decided NOT to obsess about power cables anymore. There - I said it.
