| Is Sub Gain Set&Forget Across Music Genres a Fallacy? Hello derekw_hwaii, I haven't heard that but it seems right to me.

| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? " The rest of y'all have to leave. I'll stay and talk to myself."Hello trentmemphis, Don't forget what happened during your last conversation with yourself. This time, it may be best to just nix all that yelling, headlocks and punching dur... | |
