Ct0517: (While you all are on compressors),I finally took my Jun-Air to be repaired. I am excited about it's return and my thought to add the ability to expand it's capacity by way of an extra air tank. By the way, it's a 6-25 not a 16-25 as I mis...

Frogman & Ct0517: I feel the need to admit the fact I was wrong. Early on in this thread, there was a discussion regarding the sonics of "The Nightfly" lp. I've been modifying my wall panels and decided to replay this lp. My verdict is while i...

Frogman: Your point is well taken and one that I failed to address: the possible differences in manufacturing processes of the wide variety of pressure guages. I do listen in a small room/nearfield which is conducive to my hypersensitivity on a wi...

Ct0517: Thanks for your going the extra mile on my compressor issue. This avenue would have been my next one. I have of late, been focused solely on very pointed issues and didn't take the time to inquire with the obvious source.On another front. ...
