| Most overrated bands For me its U2 and Foo Fighters (they look the part but their music is so dire) | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light Usually the car next to me with deafning bass is playing 'crap' music for me. However if the car next door was playing rock and the car was decent (Ford Mustang or some other V6 or V8 beast), good on you mate...! | |

| What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k? If your burnt out from your research maybe try approach from the other end. Are there any speakers you particularly like (sonically)? Here in England (UK), there are many who like the ATC speakers and will seek out amplifiers which would go well ... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? When HiFi gear begin to cost in silly money, I lose interest in them and their reviews. There is a simple reason if something like the 'Naim Statement' a pre and poweramp which costs at least £100,000.00 then in my mind if its not excellent its a... |
