So right after Sector sets came out, I, through my job as a CT Tech met Alex Lifeson. I told him about QQ and talked quad and surround with him. He gave me his cell# and we talked several times for hours sometimes. He didn't even know that Snakes and Arrows and the Sectors sets were in 5.1, he's a stereo guy. He asked what I thought of them I said that to my ears the Sector sets were too compressed, that the bass was muddy to me. I said we were DAMN glad to have them but I had hoped they would have been better sounding in highrez. He then started talking about a sound board that he loved back in the 70's called a Gamble Blue, he loved the analog sound and that he missed that sound. He asked if I could find him one that he wanted to put it in his home studio in Williams Arizona, a home he just bought. I have fished the great trout lakes in that area and told him that he should try them. He invited me to come up with my trout boat and show him how to fish them.
So I did find him a Gamble Blue board in a travel case at a sound company in San Fran that was willing to part with it. Gave him the contact and then like a typical celeb never heard from him again, never a thanks. I was ok with it as he and Rush have given me thousands of hours of prog heaven.
Ya but here we go again I just want the BD, $149:yikes
So do I hold out for the BD,or hope for a price drop or bite the bullet so I get it before it's OOP.
