Excuses, excuses! ;-)  (Just kidding, of course. That's a huge project.)

Are you doing anything special for your new studio space? Like, no walls at
right angles, etc.?

I don't understand your design, JH, so I don't mean to imply that it's not a
good one. (I'd bet dollars-to-donuts that it is.) However...

I'm wondering why you wouldn't use a QuadDCO. Encore Electronics used this
approach for its frequency shifter, and it seems logical to a
computer-friendly guy like myself. We don't always like audio DCOs because
they are so sterile and stable, but those attributes seem like benefits in
this case.

P.S. I was listening to your CDs during the week, and Holiday in Purgatory
is displacing Dark November as my favorite of the 3. Really nice work.
