| Was I Expecting Too Much Reminds me of Elaine in Seinfeld buying her desired dress in the other store and waving it in the window of the initial store to pee off the cranky owner. Until the owner shouts back that she owns the other store too. | |
| ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC. @tattooedtrackman I read Stereophile's review on the 6SE upgrade and I'd be a little concerned about the possible exchange of transparency for "body." Might be worth considering before you change the flavor of your rig. | |
