> In those days it was huge JBL systems and the 10Ms I never could stand those huge booming JBLs-- the rooms they were built into quite frequently were made to look like God's studio rather than sound like it. In fact, to this day, I still go back to the NS10ms to get the bass balance just right if I am having troubling translating in the car or elsewhere. Its not that Ns10ms sound good--quite the contrary... its just that if you can make it sound balanced on a pair of NS10ms without your ears bleeding from the harshness, then it will pretty much fit into any consumer audio system with reasonable accuracy. As for toilet paper techniques, I have always been a fan of it for ass, nose, and other wipe requirements. And, I was frequently the guy taping the four sheets to the rim of the snare that Rick mentioned. But, since traveling in Japan several times now, I am have become a convert to the Spray your Butt toilet system that is common there. So, its good to know that Toilet Paper still has some kind of application in modern life. :) Daniel > > On 7/22/64 11:59 AM, andy butler wrote: >> William Walker wrote: >> >>> The mics on the Q3, seem to be hyper sensitive in the high >>> frequencies, a bit sizzly sounding. >> >> Try putting some tissue paper in front of the mics as an acoustic >> filter. >> It's a technique often used for harsh monitor speakers, >> so the physics of it should work for mics too. >> >> andy > Wow, this takes me back to the days of hanging toilet paper over the > tweeters of the > Yamaha NS-10Ms to prevent listener fatigue in long sessions.
