sokogear:The Clapton video was recorded on a Direct TV box via a dish on the roof (hard drive I'm guessing), so there was no "air" transmission involved in the playback process.I figured that comfortably lying in bed would be a good start for acce...

A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers.
I have the exact same problem with door jams (constantly bang my knees/eye glass frames on them when passing through the threshhold).Life in the physical realm sucks for those of us who do not pay proper attention to the physical realm.DeKay

help with clearance between sme 3009 arm's tube and arms lifter assembly
