incorporated city which was surrounded by Austin. It was named
Westlake Hills and over the years it became a very desirable locale for both
extremely wealthy folks and still had it's shar of hippies living in the
woods along the river that ran through the area. There were a couple of
restauranteurs in Austin at the time named Cookie and Joy Swanson who didn't
live too far from us and Cookie's brother owned a nursery in Westlake Hills
that sold plastic pink lawn flamingoes. Well as the years passed, people
like Tommy Lee Jones, Shawn Colvin and Sandra Bullock all moved into the
neighborhood and then Michael Dell built as 65 million dollar obscenity
about a mile down the road and brought along all of his Dellionaire friends.
The property values skyrocketed and the politics started getting a bit
......errrrrr....Reagan'esque and PC at the same time. The city council
eventually was set upon by the rich developers and landowners to pass an
ordinance banning the display of pink

or a solution that you can hang or drape,
then theater curtains (usually these are VERY heavy) work well,
IMO... I did some production work at a PBS tv station some
years ago & they used these for studio partitions, so I can
personally attest to their effectiveness. Only problem is,
they're so thick & heavy you have to have a very well-
reinforced hanging system. Also, while they're very expensive
to have made, if you can find someone who does want to get rid
of a set, you can often get them for next to nothing,
because if a theater or a school has replaced theirs, the old
ones are usually just sitting around collecting dust.
Check the TV stations in your area that have a newscast or
other large studio area... it was a very common old-school
method of partitioning one portion of the set from another,
before many stations went to the "open newsroom" on-air format
that's much more prevalent these days.
However, if you ARE just looking to cut down on some
reflections, flutter echos, etc., from walls & whatnot, IMO a
much more attractive alternative to the moving blankets would be
something like this (go to this site & look for "wallhangings"
under "Products"):
http://www.elpasosaddleblanket.com/
Now, those guys are wholesale-only online, but if you see
something you like, I can go to their retail outlet here & buy
it for you & have it shipped. A few of these things on your
walls will look a helluva lot better than moving bla

sert foot.
With the cRapCo cable (as they will now be referred to) the low B just
tapered off and out of existence by a good 3 -4.5 dB by the time I hit it
open. Same amp, same speakers, same bass only through the MBC... let's just
say that Johnny 5 is alive. Wow. Smooth, no taper, no fooling on the top end
and plenty of meat all the way down. This is an active bass girls and
boys - that's not supposed to happen to my knowledge/experience.... I am
going to test out with a passive bass asap, and if I find what I think I
might, my wallet is about to empty in favor of tone toys. I've tried the
monster stuff before, it didn't do this to my brain or ears.
Anyone else had this experience??

>Well.....I have totally recabled my studio with Mogami over the last 12
months. I had been using lots of Horizon and Rapco in the signal chain
before this.
The Mogami made a big difference. I'm still using a 100' Whirlwind Medusa
snake from my tracking area to my preamps though. I got it out of a club
install in NYC. It's an old one too.....made sometime in the 70's, but I
swear it sounds better to my ears than running Mogami mic cable directly
from the preamp, approximately 40' to the tracking area. I have heard that
these old Medusa's used high quality Belden cable. Whatever it is, it's a
nice sounding signal path, but maybe I like it just because it's old and
discontinued, like me and half the stuff I use in the studio.
Go figure,
