Hey Jon- I got more music for you to listen to.....glad to hear the Vandy's are working out and good to see you postin' here. What, ain't they given you enough to do downtown!? You can see by my number of posts here that I'm just sittin' on my hands waitin' for the phones to ring. Dean, my friend, you and Jon are going to get me in trouble with my wife..........again! Gunbei, or the slanted-head green man, as he is known round these parts, stares at naked ladies all day while figuring out ways to embellish their blossoming womanhood into gravity-defying jugs of wonderment for the likes of the great bullshit factory down in southern Cal known as L.A.
Don't give into the WAF J.J.!! Keep up the good fight for truth, justice and a big-ass soundstage!!! Actually, I NEVER put my amps on my speakers......well, it was only perhaps a week or two.....I built a shelf that goes over the top of the Scala's with some marble and inexpensive spikes. That and the sandbox did the trick. Don't know how tall your sub is, but you could do a similar treatment. Sandboxes are a snap to make, very inexpensive, and work very well. You can finish em' in all kinds of fancy plastic fruitwood veneers like they have inlaid on the dashboards of 78' Gremlins. It can match the side of your minivan! I also know a good place to buy inexpensive custom sized butcher blocks, but I have to look that one up if you want it. Play sand is cheap, but the purists are gonna tell you you've gotta get that silicone stuff they use for sandblasting that costs about 10 times the price of play sand. Don't listen to them, you've got mouths to feed. The play sand works just fine. You can hide that spare quad of Siemens Falcons for the Audible Illusions from Mindy if you make the sand deep enough. Just keep Otis away from it or you may end up recreating that scene Jorge used to describe with the cat and the Nye strobes.....remember that one?! I surely would not put an amp on a subwoofer, your just asking for trouble, as well as plenty of ridicule from folks round these parts, man they'll heap some shit on you here that is so foul you will wish you never heard of the Internet! Just kidding, they're a good bunch. Now over there on the Asylum....jeez, those folks are just WAY too serious about this stuff. KeeeRyst, it's just stereo gear! Right guys? Right....am I right? Hey.......where's everyone going........hey, wait......No, I didn't mean it that way..........Hey, guys, c'mon! I've got a bootleg Patricia Barber from Jazz Alley that got smuggled out by the sound engineer.......Aw, c'mon...I didn't mean what I said...I used to own a VPI Brick!

PS Jon (Bibasset) is the very individual who got me addicted to this insane hobby some twenty years ago or more! He's the man who exposed me to those wonderful old Quad speakers playing with his modified Dynaco and AA pre. That was the tube sound I could never shake off that I wrote about in my system profile. They'd have to boot me out of their ground-floor Park Slope apartment cause I didn't want to leave those wonderful sounds coming from his speakers through those glowing tubes behind the cage.....like being kicked out into the cold away from a warm fire! I don't know whether to thank him, or curse the day he dropped the needle into the first groove on Jazz at the Pawnshop. Once the needle goes in, it never comes out! I'm hooked! Thanks Jon!
