Yeah I know. I just didn't want to depress people further. If you have "considerable assets", of any kind -- being a club leader is inherently a very risky position to put yourself in, financially -- now that corporate rules regarding liability of organizations have been eviscerated. Tha

Usually when some one signs a waiver letter, it is not worth the ink that it is written with. You cannot assign your rights away before something happens, it usually means you have just admitted liability with them signing the letter. It might slow down litigation by about 5 minutes, but does no

Check to see if they can later subrogate in cases of negligence or gross negligence in your state. In California, I think it's gross negligence, but I'd have to check. Sure they have to defend you, but if they lose... then they can usually turn around and sue you. And... this becomes a conflict

A new person reading this might read the paragraph on pre-amps to use, and then think that third paragraph is the sensitivity numbers you should achieve AFTER installing the pre-amp. Those are the numbers you should see out of a stock MASTR II *without* a pre-amp of any kind. I'm sure you know
