| cornfedboy ? i would love to write a full-blown review of the boulder 1012, after having listened to it extensively in my system. unfortunately, i can't do that now, since delivery of my unit has been delayed. (the chassis must be perfect before the innards ar... | |

| If you knew then, what you know now... if i had to do it all over again, i'd be born rich, living my life as a trust fund baby and ignoring the hoi poloi on this most pedestrian of audio sites; should I, quite unlikely, find it amusing to listen in on your rf static, i'd have my secret... | |
