Realistically, when is the last time you pushed an amplifier to over 50 watts per channel?

Going through my remix 12” 45s, Blackbox, Technotronic, Chemical Brothers, etc. Lit up most of the red dots on the WOPL 400 S2. WOPL amps just don’t get tired of pumping. I haven’t pressed the 700 too much cuz I don’t wanna burn my speakers up!
 
The tape-side that ate my amp was the industrial sounding one, that almost never stops pounding down the door.

Here it is.

Yeah, that track above is from the 'Interlude' side ... which is the more melodic mellow mix. 'No Remedy' from Jelly Jam.

I think it was the track "Numbered" at well over 50% volume dial - that smoked the TA-N77ES. That particular tape gets repeat plays on my system, when I'm working in the home office. I'm pretty sure I was on the 2nd play back of Side B, had turned it up a lot louder and I was sitting in the sweet spot ... facing the rack.

I saw smoke come out of more than one place AND saw the slo-blo fuse pop, all in a split second :mad:

Mix Tape From The Netherlands

I love doing mix tape exchanges with friends and members throughout the world. I find it rewarding listening to someone else's mix tape theme or project. Also, it can introduce you to music you hadn't heard of before.

I received this one from Chris back in December and he did an ace job in the recording and compilation of songs. This was the first time we had done a mix tape swap. What originally kicked it off was he and I had just bought a bunch of premium NOS Type IV cassettes. I thought what better way to use these tapes, but to record a mix on them. For me, tapes are tapes, and I have no problem using a primo NOS tape for such an exchange.

His theme was based on popular music he listened to when he was a young adult - funk & soul and early disco. His mix tape is playing in the last two photos and the first two photos are my mix tape recorded to a Sony Metal-ES 90. I recorded a second copy for Geri to play in the Volvo.

Scan of the album in my collection. I acquired this record back when it was issued. At the time I was in New Orleans and bought it at the Mushroom on the Tulane campus. There was nothing sexualized in this cover in the day. That is today. Sad.
