| Best bargain you've ever missed out Saw a 16' boat with a vintage Merc outboard plus trailer for $150 driving to see my dad. Was going to see dad, turn around quick and buy it. Wasn't quick enough. | |
| Modwright Preamp Owners. Went from a Jolida Music Envoy pre to the Modwright LS-100. Had solid state MCormack Line Drive before the Jolida. Wanted to try tubes. Liked them both, but couldn't get used to the tube noise. Believe me, I spent plenty of cash on various exp... | |
