d**n - my left reference monitor just left me

audio muted at the monitor controller, so no audio signal at the monitor. still, a sudden loud "chunk" and the power light went out. suspect the power supply ... with some many tools and toys, one almost always requires maintenance ...
 
thought I'd tell the world and share my misery ;-) ... I got Adams to back me up but I hardly know them, ... and now I need to fiddle with cables again, like I hadn't pulled enough cables this summer

    sort of ...
     
    well, at least now i know what it means to work with supposedly good monitors that you don't know ... you can still hear a lot, but they just sound so different that it makes you really uncertain...

    whoa - repair quote is 76% of the price for a new one, after discounts its still 55% ... no wonder things just get trashed

    The American way! 

    Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
