I've had a couple of these for years never had a problem with them.

One of them is powering my beer fridge mixer combo and really takes a beating its still ticking.
The other is in a rack in the studio and has been running 24/7 for years.

A sample of a weak AM signal recorded late at night works too.

Country, talk radio or religious?

AM talk radio sounds annoying enough.

Best if you can arrange to have it drift from one to another.

LOL. Until this moment, I had not truly appreciated the wonder of the beer fridge mixer. It really is something extraordinary. Just the right flavor for end-of-session winding down.

Thank you both… Wylie for the inspiration and Killahurts for making me take a second look.

I always thought it was a social event, not a piece of gear.

Right you are.
Nothing like getting out there with your mix and letting it rip.
Not only does the garage sound great for some crazy reason but stuff goes on out there that I don't allow in the studio, much fun has been had.
And as far as the SLA1 amps go for the money you can't beat them.
I've added a plasma since the last pic.
