What does it all mean Mr. Natural?

Survey-What is your most used source?
i'd say that 75% of my waking hours are spent listening to the voices inside my head. the other 25% is devoted to cd's, at least 'til i get my analouge system up and running again. C'MON, THAT'S A LIE. NO IT ISN'T, DON'T LISTEN TO HER. SHUTUP, BUS... 
Jokes of and about audiophiles

Spectral/MIT
czapp: let's not get unctuous here! your system is anything but "humble." too bad, tho, that you, like me and any number of other folks i know, were deluded into buying "salon fluff" for speakers. we coulda bought some big ol' electrostatics like ...

Sour DOW/NASDAQ to kill digital future?
avnut: it's not polite to YELL. i don't think any predictions can be made at this point about the effect of an economic downturn on new digital formats. i doubt that venture capital funds are being looked to by the producers of sacd hardware and s...
