What's a Good Way to Buy Music Collections? Picture someone who just bought a new car and found out they do not put CD players in them anymore [true dat]. But you can stick a thumb drive into the USB socket and play that. | |
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint And most newer homes have gas fireplaces, not woodburners. I am all for a separate listening room. Most of our guests do not appreciate HI-FI anyway. | |
How serious are you? I killed off most of my serious brain cells in the 70's. But if I lived close to any high-end stereo shops I might be thinking....... | |

Randy Meisner has passed away. All 'a my heroes | |
