Am I considered to be a materialistic person?
Ah, but the truly obsessed audio junkies take it even further. He/she considers the artists he/she reproduces in the listening room each session to be personal friends.  If anyone is interested, you would be welcome to come over sometime and meet ...

Uberwaltz ... I highly recommend a custom belt from Origin Live for the WTT. Don’t worry about the arm. Once set up correctly, the WT is one of the best TTs out there, even those costing many times the money. There are a ton of mods that really i...
