First foray into lunchbox territory: Wes Supercarrier II, a second hand 512c, 2x AML EZP1As, a Singular tubedrve and a Density all delivered today. Ferrofish Pulse arriving later, but I've just received a notification that the delivery of the cables to hook everything up is delayed till Monday, so can only admire them visually until then LOL SMH FML SNAFU etc.
Holy smokes, dude! Nice!

Erm... Tuesday, super frustratingly!
But hooked everything up last night and I'm very happy. Have to say the AML EZP1As are built like the proverbial tanks (bought assembled because I am feeble of solder) and they sound astonishingly good. I ordered on Thursday afternoon and they were with me first thing Friday morning, as was the Density. Top customer service, and a highlight in a week of some properly solid purchases.

OK redoing monitor racks and have discovered in the last couple of months that I need DSP that is both impossible to change via bumping into it and easily change because a couple of local guys have favorite wedges but don’t carry power or processing, and offer 4in 8 out in one rack unit. The BSS Soundweb, is great but you can’t quickly plug in a laptop or tablet with the App and go, you need to have a network switch…. So made a low ball offer on a Ashly Protea 2.24D, no front panel controls programmed either via RS232, MIDI or network. Just plug the tablet or laptop into the front RS232 jack. It was thiss or replace the 10 space racks with 12 space, well 2 10’s fit in the back seat of the Tesla 12’s don’t 😳
Oh and because I’m sick of the crappy casters on most caster boards where the weight rating is based on the load spread out over 4 casters, instead of each wheel being rated for the entire load, 8 casters rated at 400lbs ea. and mounting some Furing Strips underneath clear of the casters to route 2 ratcheting straps so you can secure the load, why even a Union stage hand could, maybe it’s time to pitch a book idea “ Load In / Out For Dummies “😁

I bit on the warm d19 clones. Got a pair and my first impression is the handling noise with the hpf switch is loud (wouldn't be surprised of that's the same with the original).
Really have only had time to hear it on acoustic. Hoping in the next week or two I have a day I can try it on a cab against a few standard dynamics to compare.

Does furniture count? I think so...
Once I committed to the trio of SSL controllers, I commissioned a stand in Walnut.
My desk space has essentially disappeared, my monitor sweet spot and ARC calibration is gone, but that was expected and now I can start working on the new desk idea and racks for this small room.
Feels a bit more focused, if you catch my meaning.

Are you a mastering engineer?

Yeah those were fun, you could get away with using a 22 like a API 560 but man if you really really want to know what all the fuss about KT Graphics was you owe it to yourself to get a DN27! Just remember you don’t have to move all 27 faders😳

Just remember you don’t have to move all 27 faders😳 I really struggled with the higher number fader/pot fized frq EQs (>15 bands), and also so many are not in/out transfo balanced or are poorly balanced with schlock transfos. I had a bunch, and some were actually even super sweet, but untenable for me at least. I tried some truly delicious ones like the SCV 231 SPR and the TEQ DG-4022, but I've learned that for me more than ~10 bands is just not appropriate for my workflow and ability. And the DN27 is (I think) only one single channel and does not have these same hefty transformers. At least I couldn't find pics of DN-27s with luscious transfos like this, but that may depend on the model and who is selling it. With regards the DN-22, I got a good 'un, but I've seen several DN-22 with no transformers or with just transfos only on ins or outs. Not a knock on those gearz, 'cause certainly transfos are not required for tone when we have so many inductors on board, but the fixed freq high knob/fader number (15-31 fader per channel) is just analysis paralysis with not enough width in the freq per knob for me. And running 2 X DN27 but not using the bands instead of running my DN22 and using the bands is not appealing.

The 27 was the original KT product, the transformers do indeed add something, but 27 bands of inductors just brings some magic.

Really tight and characterful sound, and as you said the sequencer and live operation are inspiring and easy once you're used to them.
