Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
All of the above with Jay Anderson, Marc Johnson and Michael Manring. Michael Manring "Drastic Measures" is my favorite bass player cd. Why? The music is a little classical jazz and the few solos there are no overdubs. 
Todays Raido Stations suck

How to share speakers without bypass?
Zoya, I would like to add to your suggestion, or theory. If you bi-wire in reverse, why would the amp and receiver be on at the same time? If they have to be on, why not put one in stand-by, mute or speaker off while the other is in use. By doing ...
