Shindo to open up Audio store in Los Angeles
If you are talking about Pitchperfect Audio moving from San Francisco to Hollywood then yes, there is about be a dealer representing Shindo in Socal. I can't imagine Shindo or Tone Imports opening a stand alone Shindo store though.

Cable Current Flow Direction
Poet, this is a subject sure to ignite debate. Why don't you just plug them in and listen? If in the future you are ever curious, reverse them. I can't say with all certainty that there is no difference but in my experience I can't tell. Peace.

Another audio dealer closes his shop

Jazz for aficionados
Ok rok, you are taking some historical observations and trying to twist my words. Please dont. The history of the blues is easy to trace but difficult to categorize. There can be little objective doubt that the blues was a manifestation of the uni... 
Jazz for aficionados
Rok,No offense intended but your version of history is unfortunately incomplete. To say the blues was about some people entertaining others is to ignore its genesis from slavery forward. Reconstruction for many was actually worse for a large porti...
