Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
If that is the name of it, than i am an ONEOPHILE (drinking not collecting)and far better at it than a painter! I also had old, beat-up(looked like me) '72 ALFA Spider! It was fun, except it had trouble starting on a rainy day!

The best and worst Audiogon poster's
Nothing but case of misdirected animosity. You people do not know a damn thing about the person you are attacking. Carl, you should ignore these insults. One more thing, you were right about Focal tweeters. Mine started "ringing", at higher volume...
