I had to get and install extra power strips. These systems aren't mission critical so the second connection isn't required other than the noise was driving me up the wall... Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Dec 24, 2019 at 11:29 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Power

There was a recording artist a few years back (maybe a few decades now!) who was recording choral and orchestral works the "old way" in stereo -- two mics, one facing and and back angled in properly muffled auditoriums (draped to simulate people in the seats). Unlike the modern habit of

I shared a machine room at work for a couple years, the other guy couldn't hear the screech some of the servers make when only one power supply was plugged in but it drove me up the wall.A couple years ago he moved to a different position so its my show now and the first thing I did was work

Our band director in high school never did figure out that temperature has an effect on the tune of brass instruments (all instruments really, but wood moves less). He insisted on tuning up the band in the un-airconditioned band room and then had them perform in the auditorium, with AC and
