| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Macdadtexas, I love modding Mustangs. I autocrossed my '88 5.0LX for almost 15 years in the SCCA's ESP class.

| Verus Vs Rim Drive Nice review. I need to run up to Teres and Versus to try with my Pro-ject RM10. I haven't read a bad word about it, except with the potential problems with the O-rings. (Seems like they would nail a solution down on that and not leave it up to a c... | |
