Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?

you need a better phono stage, period!

Raul- I was on a domestic flight a couple of years back and the pilot spoke in broken English- it was pretty obvious that he was from Pakistan. Well, the passenger in the seat next to me continued to loudly ridicule the pilot's English skills and heritage for most of the flight. I suppose he was trying to impress his young son, who was traveling with him. That passenger only proved himself to be a dunce, too.

¡Qué mucho loco!

Raul- Here's the level of character we're dealing with- From two of Psych's posts on the "Analog Newbie" thread: 1) (1/10/02) "I have finally learned how to stirr (sic) controversy in this site and not get heat..." and 2) (1/11/02) "I just have had the reputation since junior high of being able to stirr (sic) things up, not get involved and watch".

How remarkably unimpressive.

You must love it Jimbo, cause you keep coming back for more!

An European audio reviewer wrote me that he wanted to name his hotrodded car after *me*...

In short, it combines wild temper with much finesse, which is exactly how I
would describe you in one sentence.

What a riot!!!

Jimbo, you need to take a series of herbal baths with a few plants named "cundeamor" (from the verb cundir, to extend in all directions and the word amor, love), "albahaca" (Basil, to add spice, taste), red rose petals (for passion), and some honey (to counter bitterness)--with ice cubes thrown in for the crispness/coolness factor. Next place some patchouli root bunches in every drawer of your clothes dresser. Things will get better...and you will begin smelling like a *virile* man. After the therapy you can ask your new buddy Raoul to take you to a few places in Mexico. Have some cabrito with negra modelo dark beer, a couple shots of tequila at El Tío in Monterrey, then have Raoul drive you to Club Prestige (my girlfriend works there). Find a nice mami to give you the FULL lap dance treatment ( it's in a closed room...around 900 pesos + tip ) and you'll start ignoring my posts--guaranteed.

When I left Monterrey & my girlfriend I was crying on the plane like a dog in heat. Not everything is audio...
