| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? My response is colored by memories of music with my still living parents. City of New Orleans, Operator, Taxi all resonate with me. However what can replace Meow Meow Meow Meow ad nausem! ... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget If the used market in the area is anything like the SF Bay area I'd take the time to explore it. Gear at this level has been well treated generally and an in home listen beats a showroom imo. There are some outstanding deals from folks just look... | |
