| Top 5 Hamburgers Has anyone tried the Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, Arizona? (be sure to stop the gawd-awful music on that website)Sure, they make big burgers, but are they any good? | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Bongofury, Nickel Diner is one of the great little secrets of downtown. Honestly, eating there made my night. You've got to try their homemade red velvet cake and Ding Dongs. Unfortunately, they were all out of donuts when we got there.I have to g... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers I'm not a fan of the new, high-end, high-priced designer burger fad. Kobe beef? Wagu? Give me a friggin' break. What's next culinary foams or suspensions? It's a burger for Chrissakes, not Haute cuisineHonestly, if you can't get it right for under... | |

| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 02-19-10: RauliruegasThis alone characteristic where IMHO the pivot tonearms are superior makes a difference: this bass range frequency is the foundation of the music and it is here where tiny differences makes the difference of course if we own a... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? How about the Dynavector DV-507 mkII? How does that, and it's "Bi-Axis Inertia Controlled Dynamic Balance ", rate against the other top pivoted arms? | |

| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Aaaah, to be able to afford a high quality table with two tonearms, a phono w/ dual inputs, and two of each cartridge. Then, I could directly compare linear-tracking versus other types.Now, what about "Bi-Axis Inertia Controlled Dynamic Balance Ty... | |
| Why did I get married? 02-07-10: DonjrHere's the funny thing. She's seen the Grateful Dead 125 times. Maybe she's just musiced out. Nah, just get her a bunch of live bootlegs and suffer through 25 different versions of "Dark Star" every once in while.Even better, break ... | |
