Sounds a bit like my brother Russ. He was 11years older then me and I always thought he talked down to me. I really don't think he meant to but I guess it was an older brother thing and we didn't have much in common.
He passed away a couple years ago and I still don't know what I felt about him.
ark
My brother is about the same in years between I cant recall much of any interaction as a child or as a teen he was just my older brother same with my father I didn't meet him till I was 16 but my mother was always there

The story goes about a guy who went to a wealthy man's funeral, who was very well known in the community. During the service, he quietly whispered to another fellow next to him, "I wonder how much he left behind?" The other stranger calmly whispered back, "All of it."
How true we leave the same way we came with nothing

More seriously...
I'm not sure if it's the angle of the camera, but the monitor on the right looks to be farther away from the center of the desk than the monitor on the left. Near field monitors like the Rokits sound their very best when they are set up in an equilateral triangle with your head as one point, and the monitors as the other two. It seems trivial, but I've found just a few inches of movement in one of the monitors makes a huge difference in how they are heard.
it is about 3 inches that is easily correctable have to move a few wires in front of the speaker I did notice it and am aware of the triangle thanks for pointing it out thou

So what is he telling you? You should have married a real estate broker?
Indirectly I would have to say yes he was touting name brands so I mentioned to him that Gibson and Fender both uses components made in China i dont think he believed me, In all fairness I think he means well so I don't make an issue of it

Topic: My Brother's visit (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It's been a few years since I last seen him he was undergoing some treatment for a skin disease and had his implants replaced so he was unable to play his trumpet for almost a year he is 85 yrs. old. he spent most of his life playing in Los Vegas in the showrooms backing up all the big stars with the house band then formed his own dixieland jazz band well his treatment was a success and his new implants healed and he is playing better then ever and was offered an opportunity to form and lead a big band that plays all the old swing music so he's excited about that. One thing I must point out is we come from totally different musical tastes he's into jazz and I more or less like to play rock or blues but we did play together on several occasions in the past. The one thing that never fails to happen when we get together is he has a disturbing habit of one upmanship with regards to cars,homes money he never fails to point out the fact he owns several houses and apartment buildings new cars and makes tons of money in real estate because his wife is a broker he looked at my guitars on the wall and said "where is your Les Paul"? I told him my Douglass was every bit as good he said "yeah but it don't say Gibson on it" and his sound equipment could fill my apartment I had to fight the urge to say what was on my mind and I don't think it would have made any difference anyway but he is my brother and there are not to many years left for both of us I will be 73 in October good lord willing
so I just have to smile and try and enjoy the time we do have and I know this is not a unique situation I am sure other people experience this "family" trait
