| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @grislybutter that’s not really the answer. A lot of people are hurting financially and don’t like the way things have been going. The pandemic triggered most of it. It hurt Donald Trump initially but now the aftermath is helping him. There are ma... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? @nutty Which Steve Hackett? He’s been cranking stuff out all the time now for almost 50 years. | |

| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Chances are those with “end game” amps also have speakers that the amp can drive well.
