| Please tell me. Did you listen to it before you bought it? Is it broken in? | |
| Acoustic Sounds Customer Service I have the same frustration, me having to pay shipping to return a defective item, hardly seems fair, but that is the bargain that I struck when I decided to purchase from Acoustic Sounds. If you look at their return policy, this is very clearly s... | |
| Actual Home Theater Explosions I believe you can get devices that you attach to your furniture to provide the rattling effect. | |

| Jewel - the singer, not the case... How good does she think she is? | |
| Whats up with Carver/Sunfire? This is from Sunfire's website, it looks like Bob sold but they've got him on one of the classic "consulting" type arrangements. He is going to trade shows, etc. for them so he is probably working out the rest of his contract.from the sunfire webs... | |
| Arcade Fire; what song did they do on SNL There was an article about indie bands in the Atlanta Journal Constitution today that mentioned them. What LPs are worth getting. How good is the pressing and sonic quality. | |
| Todays vinyl packaging observations This is a tough one as I certainly struggle with this issue myself. I have been into vinyl for almost a year and think I have only bought a couple of CDs in that time because I enjoy LPs so much more. I have even duplicated many of my CDs with LPs... |
