Hookay...besides, couldn't put Joe's light board on the ol generation 1 meters....



The more I listen to an "E" board the more I like it.....Joe did REAL GOOD on the "E" board.....real good....


And the really cool part is that after a catastrophic failure of 4 outputs on the backplanes NOT A THING was zorched on the driver board. a few resistors on the backplanes and that was it. Now THAT takes some engineering prowess. if that was a PL14 board I'd still be replacing components...

With my new Acurus, and an E board WOPL, " Museum of Consciousness" is an almost religious experience at 200 watts plus....




And yes, I can clip a 400 on the K's....and it's ugly...

Well, Joe, don't know how you would. It's only gotten better every time. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of driver board damage....
