| Answer me this... If sound quality is what you are after, reissues are not the answer.Better Records are. Bite the bullet, buy a White Hot Stamper. Thank me later. | |
| Cartridge installer North Jersey - NYC area wanted Somewhere in there while trying to figure out how to throw more money out the window you mention to Jon the fivechannel guy how great it would be if he could do this. Jon says well there is a cartridge installer training program. If you'll cover h... | |

The most seriously permanently altered state dude on the site turns out to be an anti-drug prude. Hilarious.Back to the OP, the code word for "listen to this stoned" is "listen to this stoned." | |
