How far would you drive to audition a component?

Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?
Not to mention that the Dixie Chicks are not only hot looking but are actually talented. Half the award winners are nothing more than Milli-Vanilli's....I like these type of events for the outfits (READ hot women)and seeing Joan Rivers make a fool...

Is Supratek Syrah still the deal of the century?
To add to Dazz's remark:Not to mention he lives in Australia, how much does it cost to ship if a repair is needed? While I am sure it is a great unit and lives up to the hype, this would be a deal-breaker for me.

Best rock song of all times
"Never Been Any Reason"by Head East.
