| Thiel Owners jafantI'll second your comment on the Listening Room. That's where I got my 3.5s some years ago. | |
| Thiel Owners A Happy New Year, and as my Scottish ancestors used to say at First Footing: "Lang May Yer Lum Reek.""Lang may yer lum reek” is a Hogmanay greeting, implying "May you never be without fuel for your fire!", but more literally translates into "Long ... | |
