| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read America learned a lesson once when it repealed prohibition.During Prohibition, the first group of gangsters to become really rich got a great start in life.Now, with illegal drugs, we have Billionaire criminals.Too bad we never learned anything fr... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Best recommendation of all:When you are listening to music, listen to the music, not your systems' performance. Constantly judging the sonics is a really bad trap to fall into. I suggest you only play with judging the sonics on a specific day of t... | |
