Me too, no call backs from back in the times when I made laminate tops. I only had a problem one time when the humidity was too high.
Agree fully.
I upgraded my basement system with an original MiniDSP 2x4 I traded Tom_S some woofers for at DIY Iowa. I’d been using the rudimentary crossover built into my Emotiva DSP-1 preamp. It has outputs that you can set the frequency for high pass outputs and an adjustable low pass for a mono sub output. Now I can control crossover slopes and levels and the subs are stereo which matters when I’m crossing to small sealed 2 ways at 150Hz. I also added some bass boost to the low end and did a little EQ to the overall system.

That’s a great upgrade!
And nice ‘little’ Haffler bottom rt corner…
That’s a Hafler DH500 that I bought new in the late 80’s. It’s been in service ever since. A few years ago I re-capped it and had the bias pots replaced. It’s rated at 255W @ 8 ohms. It’s driving a pair of the original 12" Shiva woofers. I’m running the Krystal’s with a Harman Kardon HK 2480 receiver. The speakers on the stools are the 2-ways I brought to DIY Iowa and run off a Dayton Audio KABD-430 board.

I’ve been a fan of the miniDSP for yrs. Switched over to their HD a while ago, and wish they’d come out with a HD balanced unit. May go with a flex 2x4 if / when a fair trade agreement is worked out…

From 1969: catchy, funky with a great guitar part and nice solo. The studio version with Hammond organ is much better known but I prefer this live take:
The bassist is playing a Danelectro (I think) which was used by, among others, Noel Redding and John Entwistle; nice solid sound, at least, as far as you can tell from the rather lo fi recording. The Telecaster has a nice full sound as well.
