| Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos? Theo, was there any advice you were given or heard about the new designs vs. the Skala for instance. I just figured there may be a basic difference you had learned with regard to the latest design. Thanks! | |

| Cowboy Junkies on Cassic, not as good as orig CD "Margo still won't marry me though..."She seems to like drinking tea, that was her drink of choicewhen I saw them play. Just bring her a nice hot cup. I bet at the very least, she will sign one of your records. | |

My 2 shelf Rix Rax is actually on the low side, so it ... | |
