Fear of volume control


An audiophile friend of mine came over for a listening session yesterday and my set sounded better than I ever heard it. It turns out that I raised the volume control higher than normal, I guess to impress him.
Normally I place it around 12 to 1 o’clock. Yesterday I put it at between 2 and 3 o’clock.
Wow! What a difference. the room shook with the orchestra and organ at full tilt.
I was previously hesitant to push the volume much past 12 o’clock for fear of distorting the sound. There was no distortion whatsoever, just clean, beautiful, powerful sound.

Lesson learned!

You guys, I turn mine all the way up just to piss off "the neighbor". I do. I use ear plugs and muffs.

I call all the neighbors EXEPT one and I torture his silly a$$.

He thinks it’s all right to BOOM BOOM into the weeee hours of the morning. Everyone here works or is retired.

He just thinks he can make Boom Boom.. I can knock the meat off the bone if one’s silly enough to stand in front of a MB Column.

I just make sure the rabbit (Junior) and the dog (Bubs) are in the basement.

If his music was worth a crap we would all stop trying to crumble his castle. We ALL take turns, I just help out with a little Mick Mec Magic..

His girlfriend brought me angel food cake, what’s that telling you.. She made it just for me.

So she said.. Let him keep it up.. More BOOM BOOM than he might think.
She likes my blue eyes. I like her.................... Eyes too..

Mercy I need a nitro pill under my tongue. ;-)
