Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
I just did a speaker upgrade and happen to have a pair of Fritz Carrerra BE's I'm putting up for sale; I'll have them up on here or USAM later today if interested.... They are wonderful speakers; I'm just replacing them with ones that are in anot...

James Blunt out of tune?
On my version of the White Album, John sings 'Bungalow Bill'.   
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
