Your comment about all of those poles caught me eye (sort of made me think
of fishing too!).
Back in the days of the OMNI C or Corsair, TT ads used to 'brag' about the
ultimate attenuation in their rigs.
Since I havent seen any mention of that in a long time, I was wondering what
the curve would look like in a V or VI..just as good, better, worse (a
little blowby).
any one ever measure it?
