Perfectionist Audio
The music is always there. Whether it's playing on your system or just in your head. If you like music, this is a given. Subconsciously or otherwise. Attaching a hobby to it doesn't denigrate or lower it's value. In turn, having numerous sports ca...

I can't recall how often I've said this. Once you get used to the attributes of all your other gear, guess what you then start listening to, again? Your amp. Which will always be the most identifiable piece of gear in your system. You will hear th...

Hey Mt10425, willing is one thing, responding is another. Granted, chores get done. By me, the maid, or my wife. But who takes care of the other stuff Liz mentioned? Just ribbin ya. I'm sure she does. However, I think I would value my wife's mutua...
