| The Better My System Gets.... Dgarretson,I've been one of the opening acts at the Troc. No arguments here with any of your characterizations! :-) | |
| The Better My System Gets.... I tend to agree with all of the above. And it goes for movies too, even though my home theater is not nearly as good as my two channel music system. BUT, there is still that magical once-in-awhile live performance that reminds you what it's all ab... | |
| there are 4 answers; refer to them by number We are all really a little bit pathetic. | |
