</BLOCKQUOTE> Agreed !... but that being said, its also cool to eventually get them explained as well. As far as the time window... dont you think that kind of depends on some things ? </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SERIF" FACE="Times New Roman" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"> Well of course but I think I stated my suspicions as to what's involved. The first time I experienced this phenom. was on a Stwy A-3 that many who originall played it were not overly impressed and then it kind of sat oround the shop 3 months without much playing. As I played it (which was very little) I thought I noticed an improvement in the sustain power and focous of the tone. The same people who then played it later asked what I had done because it sounded better. These were unsolicited comments and these are folks with some ears on mind you, techs and players both<BR>
