    Jo Gunn 8+8 "Killer Star" Gizmotchy Style.

    Shure 577B Mic

    Yes and Yes its more expensive than the Palomar mic for a reason. BTW, the present palomar stuff is just a label stuck on truck stop junque, it has nothing to do with the actual Palomar company that used to be in S Calif years ago. One of the original Palomar company owner descendants just...

    On Super Bowl Sunday there is no TV from Spectrum in Louisville
