| Does any one have a link to Playboys stereo systems of the rich and famous? Remember Woody Harrelson in The People vs Larry Flynn lampooning Playboy for being out of touch with their readers? He was holding the current issue and reading the title of an Article, “How To Improve Your Stare-we-oh” | |
| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. I suppose one can argue that an automobile is a device that transports individuals from A to B, and as long as it has 4 wheels, an internal combustion engine, there is no difference between say, a Yugo and a Porsche. | |

| best way to get internet radio I have used an Apple TV, Bluesound, and a Bryston BDP3 to access Internet Radio. They all work and have provided a lot of pleasure. The Bryston sounds better, but as it is a lot more expensive than the other two, it darn well ought to. Bluesoun... | |
