| Miss ya Jerry Garcia - it hasn't been the same My Jerry Garcia neck ties are still among my favorites.When he was good, he was very good. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Audiogoner Mamboni, who is one of the most knowledgeable OHM owners out there, moved to Wyred recently and reported good results.
