I'll be honest, I think the idea that different woods will change anything in a measurable, repeatable fashion is a bit of a stretch. I'm not saying different woods don't have different characteristics that can be heard, I'm just saying that when ... 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
robto, Led Zeppelin covers a bit of "That's All Right Momma" and "Mess of the Blues" on one of their BBC live recordings. It is fantastic.mitchagain, for me the CCR version of Heard It Through The Grapevine and even Susie Q are not my favorites an...

I prefer the SNL/Belushi version of the Joe Cocker version of With a Little Help from My Friends. Its on youtube. Awesome.

I agree about the value of "things". Not worth dying for. Probably not worth killing for. The problem is, things are not the only precious items in my home.....and someone who comes into your home while you are there is likely to be a threat to yo...

lowrider, to be honest, I made those because I was bored and bought the sorbothane on a whim. I can hear absolutely no difference in SQ from when the line stage sits right on the rack, right on the sorbothane or in the configuration I described ab...

bdp24 said:"Have you heard? Trump just reversed Obama’s ban against selling firearms to mentally ill people. Insanity! The blood is on his hands."Completely wrong. You need to read the Obama regulation and Trump's reversal. I hate Trump but this i...

Experiences are different. I rabbit hunted with an older, skinny Barney Fife looking country fellow for years before noticing a Vietnam pin on his hat. Quiet fellow. He was a friend of my Dad's. He always struck me as kind of wimpy. Maybe a little...

bdp24, I'm very jealous. Also surprised you have any hearing left.I saw Foreigner in the early 80's. So-so show but painfully loud. Ears rang for 12 full days afterwards.

I have never seen that footage and in my youth and ignorance probably would have flipped to another channel when they were on SNL. That's right about the time my homeroom teacher was trying to improve the tastes of a room full of Philistines, prep...

I have a concealed carry permit too. In a world where a 16 year old can drive a car while texting, law abiding citizens carrying guns and geeks carrying swords are the least of our problems.As far as risks of legally carrying a weapon, certainly n...

You can get various forms of sorbothane on Amazon. It can be expensive.I'm not a fan of MDF for long horizontal load bearing pieces, like a shelf. MDF doesn't compress much and it has a lot of strength when standing vertically, which is good. But ... 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
I often initially prefer which ever version I hear first and am most familiar with. The Baez version of "The Night....." was the first version I heard of that song. It got a lot of radio air time. The Band's version got zero air time. The first ti... 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
I figured someone would say that. It was the most popular rendition after all. And yes, it does all come down to opinion so there are no right or wrong answers. My take on that particular song is that she polished a song that, by its nature and ly...

I ditched FB about a year ago. It just got creepy on so many levels.As for posting elsewhere online? Well, I’d like to see a snatch and grab of a 100 pound amp and 130 pound speakers. And even if they were stout enough to do that, they’d have to g...
