Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done.
Au Contraire, I used to hang on his every word. Then I became an adult. That's when I realized throwing (verbal) rocks is easy, being responsible is hard. Besides, I think he was more anti-draft, than he was anti-war. Or put another way, more pro-... 
What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why?
Another interesting item in this same vein. Back in the day, one of the Big Three Audio magazines ran a monthly article, interviewing and showing the Stereo systems owned by major world class musicians. I guess nowadays it would be called 'Systems...

He's WELL DONE. Every since the 'protest era' ended. 
Low budget, just for fun
"Anyways, this is actually pretty fun trying to piece together the best system you can for the least amount of money possible"What a novel idea! A lot of folks this for real. Even when they are not slumming. Fancy that!!

Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's?

Nick_sr, I do not own ANY Ballets on DVD or Blu Ray. I don't even own a blu ray player. My TV is 720p. I am giving myself the oppo 103 for Christmas. I am certainly not qualified to review the Nutcracker. These things are so wonderful to a country...
