I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and

Oh man, maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

Ok, more a musician joke, fellow keyboard players will be able to relate best:

How do you get a guitar player to play softer?
Make him read sheet music.

What do you call a guitar player without a wife or girlfriend?
Homeless.

What do you say to a guitar player in a three piece suit?
"Would the defendant please rise?"

How many audio snobs does it take to bias a set of 6922's?
None. They're solid state guys - TUBES? we don't need no steenkin' tubes.

...how do you make a rock guitar player to stop playing?
--Give him a sheet music!
...what is the difference between viola and violin?
--Burns longer.

for more audio jokes please follow the cable posts, posts about tweaks and how other different junk changes the sound here on audiogon.

Tim, i can relate to your comments about guitar players and volume. Having done professional sound reinforcement, the only guys that i had to battle with about on-stage volume levels were the lead guitar players. If you told them that they were too loud or over-powering the rest of the band, you could almost see an evil grin sneak onto their face. They would then turn around and "fake" turning down the gain on their amp. I guess that they thought i was deaf, dumb and blind. They might have been right about the dumb part, but i can still see and hear : )

I learned how to deal with this type of situation REAL fast. I would simply tell them that if they kept their amp cranked up on stage, i would simply turn them down through the PA. I'd casually add that the guitar might sound good to the people standing in front of the "stack", but i would make sure that nobody else could here their guitar anywhere else in the club.

THAT got their attention REAL fast : ) Sean
