| glowing red output tube, but don't think it's red-plating @xenolith - Interesting story about the resistors and biasing. Oh the stuff we do, and put up with, in pursuit of the perfect sound. | |

| Band/artist documentaries. @bdp24 - Wrecking Crew is a terrific documentary. This is one of my favorite parts-Tommy Tedesco ("the King of session guitarists"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DVnW6SeOl4 | |
