Graeme, Adriaan - quite frankly I would be stunned if either of you ever disagreed with Dave!
 
Apologies for any distress caused to any other club members with my sweeping statements.

John, I'd be stunned if anyone (after careful consideration) ever disagreed with Dave.

Adriaan,  
 
Dave is undoubtedly a truly great guy, and a wonderful moderator - one of the very best - but I firmly believe the assumption that any one person can never be wrong is a dangerous one.
 
Imagine if  Dave became evil and instructed you to walk into the sea with lead boots on - after careful consideration would you?
 
John.

No distress caused here John!
I've been enjoying this thread.

John, I didn't say Dave can never be wrong. But I would probably agree with him if he were. ;-)
 
And I have to add that agreeing with someone is not the same as blindly obeying orders from anyone. And neither is disagreeing with someone, for that matter.

Dave seems to have an incredible gift for sorting through the details and bringing truth to light.  I'm sure there are things we all would disagree on, but I'm also sure Dave's perspective would be the better-informed one.

Just to kind of brush up against the original topic, let me just say that many of the comments and perspectives here RESONATE with me!  

This is a resonance thread, not a priorities or Dave thread  
 
Thanks!

Lots of sympathetic vibrations here though!  *rim shot*

What the hell does resonate mean anyway?
 
John.

....to sonate again?

From Wikipedia (when did they ever lie??? LOL)
 
In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies, known as the system's resonance frequencies (or resonant frequencies). At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude vibrations, because the system stores vibrational energy. When damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is the frequency of free vibrations. Resonant phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, and resonance of quantum wave functions. Resonant systems can be used to generate vibrations of a specific frequency, or pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies.

The peak at the low-pass filter's cut-off frequency is also a resonance. The Q switch amplifies that resonance.

Resonance is what brought down the

An example of resonance would be that one note at a gig which seems to rattle the entire room if you don't EQ it down a bit.  Another would be the frequency that feeds back first and/or strongest when the instrument is in front of the amp.  The intent of tuning a room with pink noise and EQ is to mitigate the natural resonance of the room.
