ductboard same as OC 703?
I am building a new facility and have some leftover ductboard from the HVAC installation. Can I use this in place of the Owens Corning 703 (or similar) and expect the same results when used as sound absorbing panels for wall treatments? Thank you, Brian ... 6 Nov 2005 10:46

Peavey VMP-2
Given that the used market price on these is around $800 right now, do folks still think these are a good bargain for a "colored" pre.

Tech Opinion Needed: Roof mounted AM/FM Auto Antenna
