Greek Audiophile - Documentary Video
That was awesome. Watching that I didn't feel like it was anything like me. Then true story I walked downstairs on my way to the fridge and happened to notice the 2 pairs of speakers I bought last night for modding. Oh right, I need to take those ...

Taking audio too seriously?
joeylawn36111:Unsound - you got ripped. I know where you can get all 9 Planets Aligned for only $15M above what you paid!Don't look now but they discovered a new planet. Completely unaligned. It never ends.
