  • Thanks for the kind words Richey
  • Very nice Phil - I've never made a diddly but this has a real 'pick me up and play me' quality!

  • Yeah, I think it's a law of physics somewhere:  In a finite amount of space, new ground must stomp out some old ground.  A good engineer just figures out how to make it 'appear' that we still have both.

    Not that everything new is bad or anything, but sometimes we trade something silly for something important.  The key is to try to trade only silly old things for more important things and not vice versa.  I am sure many would disagree with me (especially since there are no rules in this genre of building---well, almost none), but I am not proposing a 'rule' per se, just the law of identity.  O.k., I am now stepping off my soap box…please proceed with your regularly scheduled day.  

  • Thanks Sean. Seems the simpler I keep it the better they play and the better they sound!
  • This is so clean looking.  I love it!
