John,
Tricky Dicky is merely reminding us that he's not (was not?) a crook. He was pretty scary at the time but in retrospect it all seems kind of quaint. I own a pretty interesting collection of political memorabilia and I find him to be the funniest president of my time. I recently got a chance to watch the entire Checkers Speech for the first time and it was just bizarrely compelling. What an operator. i guess I'll eventually replace the picture, possibly with a picture of J.Edgar Hoover in a sun dress.
About the TVC. I'm definitely interested in a fully balanced model. I'm thinking if of going with the Rick Schultz ultimate attenuator but I'm also considering a goldpoint attenuator. I Tried to find a balanced 3 db attenuator but all I could find was 10, 20 and 30db models. If you decide to build a fully balanced TVC with a home theater pass through let me know.
