Cartridges: Complete Scam?
madavid0 ... your input has had zero value, not only to me but to anyone. "Are you happy with your sound" is a meaningless question; what difference at all does it make if I’m happy or not happy with it? If I’m happy with my sound, does that mean...

Why does my system now have shrill top end.
Was this a sudden change, or a gradual change? 
Why is the snake oil topic closed?

kosst_amojan... this thread is at least as stupid as Foggythink's ... These fools aren't on the cutting edge... They're neurotic ... I commend those who derail their stupid snake oil threads. Why so angry? Why so bitter?  
Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits?
Did you read this nine-year old thread? Did it not answer your questions?
