      Steve is a lawyer and obviously a successful one.
      He is a moderator over at avscience and is a very nice guy.
      And an obsessive tweaker. What's nice is he shares his experiences of tweaking with everyone over there.
      But I doubt if he is the most tweaked out.
      If you can find Alan Maher its probably him, but he's gone into a bit of semiretirement for a bit.
      Alan installs audio-visual equipment for the US military, but has mm independent means, shall we say?
      He has had guests talking about how Stealth bombers are wired for purity of signal path, for example.
      He seems to know about everything there is to know.
      He is (sometimes/often) described as opinionated, but I've never met anyone more able to hold that opinion. Search the avscience archives for some of his tweaks.
      Try the one about tuning a mains cable with a fridge magnet.

      I can't even imagine how much this would have cost to put together, but I would love to know.

    Maybe Bob Weir, or Mickey Hart? The Dead Definitely had the BEST live sound!

      I happened to read your post while listening to the FANTASTIC three-disc boxed set of live Dead called "Dozin' at the Knick". :-)

      As I understand it.......
      Owsley not only made GREAT acid (Iused to get it sent and can wholeheartedly reccomend this TWEAK to mentality) but designed/built one (at least) of their sound systems.
      I believe he now lives in New Zealand and makes jewelry.
      I may be wrong but I have read this several times.
      Incidently, Chip Monk, famous from Woodstock (don't take the brown acid) lives here in Aussie and designs lighting systems for department stores.

        Bear, (Oswley) and I worked together on the "Wall of Sound" PA system for the Grateful Dead in 72-74. Bear had this crazy idea of using differential microphones and putting ALL the loudspeakers behind the band. Ron Wickersham (Alembic) and I designed and built the microphones, electronics and specfied the loudspeaker drivers used in the system. It weighed 30,000 pounds, so it was used only 2 years or so.

        He was a chemist and funded Alembic sound for the Dead with his psychedelic
        profits. Also, he was the recording engineer on the Old and In the Way
        albums. Good luck to him.

          It's totally cool! One more reason why I belong here. The box set "So Many Roads" is really good. I like the fact that a lot of the later Dead CDs are HDCD.
          Happy listening,

            This limited edition three disc set of march 15 1990 at cap. centre (Landover MD) has some absolutely kick @ss recording quality/engineering and it is a sweet show. Phil's Birthday... I was there and remember, among other things, cops in the show, dragging people out who were caught smoking "mother nature" by their arms and legs. Also, just before the boys came out for the encore, a fabulous furry freak near me leaned over and said "you know, it would be really cool if they played Revolution right now..."
            All in all, that run of shows was one of the "peak" moments of my life.
