| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Singers are often what I find most annoying in Rock Bands, so Geoff's nomination of Guns 'n' Roses is a great one. My choices are Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers, Steve Perry/Journey, and Steven Tyler/Aerosmith. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? agear, Mr. Diament would be the best person to ask. He's pretty responsive to inquiries, and a nice, non-confrontational guy ta boot. | |

| Starting from scratch, passion for "steals" True 213runnin, and the Maggie low sensitivity and missing bottom octave makes necessary a beefy power amp and perhaps sub or two, thereby negating the economy pricing of the speakers themselves. However, the older Maggies that allow bi-amping mak... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great points frogman. Dave Tough was a big band drummer who was adored by bandleaders and fellow musicians for his ability to make a band swing harder than any other drummer around, but whose ability to play a solo was rather limited. Some musicia... | |
| Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor Small world Brad! I'm in N. Vancouver (Salmon Creek area), Washington. I'll be heading down to L.A. in a couple of weeks, bringing a trailer full of hi-fi back with me, including the Wallytractor. | |
| Random thoughts from a sort of, kind of audiophile Great song, Jerry. Vivian Stanshall was quite an interesting character. | |

Rather than waiting for measured "proof" that any given product marketed as providing isolation from vibration actually does so (and further, that such isolation is not just academic, but actually provides an improvement in sound), you may in many... |
