Shows both good taste and good judgement :) "Consumer Reports" is leftpondian so I wouldn't have heard about that, especially not in the 70s when comms were slightly slower and more expensive. "Which?" is the rightpondian version of CR |

Since I was a kid, Dark side of the moon was considered a reference test for bass range of speakers.. |

Somewhere, over the rainbow... --- End quote --- Damn, I'm almost tempted to give that Wizard of Oz thing a try.... It may be too much and blow my mind... --- End quote --- Now you're getting it! ;) --- End quote --- Dark Side of the Rainbow - The Theory Explained |

As a kid about 12~13 started repairing TVs, Guitar amps, stereos, and anything electronic for spending money (sure beat mowing yards and painting houses!!). This carried over while I was in grad school and repaired guitar amps & stereos and such for many of the music & stereo stores in the area as a source of income along with working on university research projects. One morning 3 English band fellows came in the repair store and asked if I could repair their light show control box. Turns out the PS was blown and I rigged up a PS for US 120VAC use. They were so happy it was fixed they offered me a bunch of front row tickets at the Tampa National Guard Armory shown here. http://www.scottymoore.net/FtHomer.html They noted I played guitar (wasn't any good tho), and offered to teach me a couple songs and I could be on stage with them!! Anyway, I had something else to do that night and didn't take up on the offer. A year or so later the album came out, and yes it was the early original Pink Floyd |O https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pink-floyd/1972/fort-homer-hesterly-armory-tampa-fl-5bd77fcc.html Best, |
