I was told by Bill Parish (GTT Audio) that his TT for demoing equipment (I don't think he sells TTs) is a rim drive made in Switzerland. Told me it's so precised and rugged that it was used t... | |

| Rap music on high-end speakers Kevziek, my little sister calls people like you "Scared White People".You call yourself a professional musician but don't seem to know much about music. I see rap as a least common denominator of the product of generations upon generations of slav... | |
