all the above and then some....

and the fact that while i may sometimes feel like pointing people in the right direction , i do not do freebies.

i too did hardware comparison tests.

UAD in some cases sounds "nicer" and is always more intuitive to use thanks to the GUI ,

however, NICER, does NOT mean more authentic/accurate

yeah, and eric johnson can hear the difference between nickel jack plugs and brass jack plugs.

this is VERY over simplified. and not necessarily applicable to every situation, it's very much a DIYers rule of thumb..... and it only applies to panels that are significantly smaller than an entire wall, not entire wall structure designs. an increase in performance of a panel is achieved by hangi...

compression anywhere between 5-10% and maybe about 65% will be fine..... outside of that, the material does not act reliably as a spring. large areas of foam become surprisingly hard to compress, especially when the load is not directly vertical... the other way to do it if your load is insufficient...

FooFighters..... usually sound great..... (as well as being great tunes) QOTSA "songs for the deaf" there's only one Nickleback track i ever use for anything, and that's "never again" off their Silver side up album , the bass line is a good rule of thumb test for listening system...

feedback buster

heavy rubber bung for the soundhole.

job done

can i just be pedantic rather than especially helpful...... constant gain, would seem to me to be a misnomer....

constant loudness perhaps??..... or an absolute signal level compensator????

might be a more accurate description of what you're looking for....

placed across the corner as glenn illustrated is more effective as a bass trap, than placed flat to the wall. significantly so.

i was thinking call divert, or a VOIP capable unit.....

for example iPhone on skype..... with all those funky dock connectors and so on,..... gotta be easy to implement....

just chucking a few ideas around that are just outside the box, in case something turns out useful really.....

aside from the obvious point about virtually all mobiles having line outputs.....

might be of some use

as a result of all this, i rather fancy a P-rail to go in the neck of one of my Jem , or maybe RG, , or a pair for my hard tail SZ

damn, more on the never ending shopping list.
