Any vets among the Audiophiles here?

Coltrane1, I know you are a vet; why would I thank you for your service othewise? As far as public forums, yes, you are free to add your comments; just as I am free to ask they stay on topic. I honestly don't know why you think there is a lot of flag-waving or romanticizing going on here or that you need to shine a light on anything other than your service (by that, I mean highlight your service).

Anyway, I am outta here for now. This has gone way off topic from the original OP's question.

Best to you, Coltrane1. After all, anyone who is a vet, retired law enforcement, and who owns an Akita, well, that's pretty cool.

government run amuck??? i didn't know there had been a coup d'etat or do you mean the one the american people elected?

I think that the Coup D'etat is the one that Coltranel, and Macrojack are proposing. Of course with them conveniently in charge, instead of that interfering Constitutional Mandate! I will take a Constitutional Mandate any day over a Coltranel/Macrojack Mandate, perhaps I might have just a little bit more Freedom that way. You guys want to rule over people, perhaps I can recommend you overthrowing a Caribbean Island somewhere! Just leave me with my Constitutional Rights that I served 20 years to protect! I think that I have EARNED it!

Actually I was referring to the gov't the people didn't elect, but what's it matter, it's now history...as am I. Best to all!

Don't be a stranger, Contranel. We can live with your Politics, to each his own. We are just more curious about what kind of Stereo System you have, at the risk of souding a little materialistic. I counter that it is more about the Music, than the material. I don't think that is a bad character flaw. I suggest that we stop looking for character flaws, and converts, and just appreciate the Music we have. Its getting tougher in an aggressively Politically split Society, but we definitely need a Music Vacation from all of the noise.
