    Point blank, I answered your question, and added a plethora of information to back that up.

    Whether or not you take that information is not a concern to me. That said, I answered your question on the previous page.

    Let's take a step back bro'...You and I have known each other waaaaay too long to disagree on a simple recommendation. All I am asking is that you take a looksie. This may very well be right up your alley.

    I am definitely interested.

    Tom, you're out there tonight. I'm talking about the stereoscope to find what might be causing an annoying pop. If you read that snake oil verbage you will see that he admits his crap may not remove pops, etc.

    If you saw him live in person with his little demo act I believe you'd shake your head and walk away as I did. He personifies snake oil.

    Let's just agree to disagree. I feel you are full of it tonight.

    Did....never mind... (you should)

    Let's chat tomorrow via the phone. I think our wires are cross-communicating. Something is amiss, because you and I usually have the same musical tastes/preferences.

    Yes. No RCM will. BUT, his does more than others. This may be key to what you are looking for. You have any other option to your complaint?

    Yeah, I didn't think so.

    So, here is my option presented to you. Nothing more, nothing less. Just look into it, is all I am saying....

    Yes sir. Understood. It sure does sound like it. Remind me never to offer you advice again.

    My photo above doesn't do it justice (I was half asleep :blush:), but this is the lunar eclipse yesterday morning, just before totality and just before local moonset behind the trees on the northwest side of our house. It was gorgeous.

    Lol @motorhead43026 I've been "daring" motorcycles for a long time. It'll be something else that takes me out. This was me up at Mt Rainier way back in 1981 on the CB900F, tank top and jeans...BUT, I was wearing a helmet, gloves and my military boots :D

    Craziest rider I met installed a turbo on his Hayabusa. His helmet cam footage was incriminating.

    Right!!!! Because a drag race inspired motorcycle just isn't fast enough for the street!! :#:D:D

    It's funny about drag racers by the way. I was once involved with an organization called Racers For Christ. I got the opportunity to attend an NHRA drag race in Pomona CA. and met a lot of Top Fuel dragsters, rails, funny cars, the kind that shake you to your core and beyond when they fire up the engines.

    As I was introduced to these drivers, the Regional Director informed them that I was a motorcycle racer, they'd reply with polite shrugged shoulder and say nice. Then the Director would say, no, not drags, road racer. Then with each one, they'd pop their eyes at me and say, You're crazy!! I'd just laugh and reply, You're sitting on in a vehicle with an atomic bomb in it and you're calling ME crazy??? We'd all laugh and I'd go to the next driver.

    A very special breed those NHRA people however it is an experience I'll look back on as long as I can!
