| Why Don't More People Into Music Reproduction At Home Play Around With Musical Instruments One of the coolest CES shows, I evers attended, had a "LIVE" show, that was recorded, then played back to the same audience.

| The Hardest Naturally Occurring Substance on Earth If you look at the different tips, most are NOT as sharp as you think.The very tip is dulled just slightly and the convex, concave tapers from the tips are actually what ride the hi/low rigged of either side of,"The Grove" By definition in the mac... | |
