OT: Bowtie and Panomaniac

Yep, it sounds bad 'cause it's isolated. You wouldn't notice as much it it were in the music. There is a simple way to avoid it if you can solder a little.

Don't you just need an on/off switch in your speaker wires?

Actually better to use one of the methods suggested by Pano. The contacts in a switch can become flaky over time and add resistance, and possibly other anomalies to the circuit. I'm of the school that believes the straighter the path between amplifier and speakers, the more wild the party for the ears/brain.

Wanna hear something depressing? I just heard the snow plow go by and shouldn't be hearing that for another 6-10 weeks.

That is. Stuff like that this time of year usually only happens in North Dakota. I remember walking the kids down the street on Holloween in my long johns and a hot thermos of coffee/rum at around 0 degrees.

Indeed!

Seems we have each other's weather, woke up to 19 degrees and 6 inches of the powdery white stuff. The sun is really working hard on it, the roads are bare now and the rest of the snow is shrinking fast.................... one of the nice things about the ends of the season, nothing lasts too long. I'm afraid the worst is yet to come for both of us. But don't worry, we'll be looking at longer warmer days almost soon enough.

We still have leaves on 30% of the trees. We're 30 inches, yes 30, above our average annual rainfall and have an incredible number of uprooted trees everywhere, the 6 inches of snow we're getting tonight is only going to compound that i'm afraid.
