What time do you wear?
It is apparent now that people who stop wearing watches because they use their phones to tell the time do not value watches as jewelry, or for their intrinsic beauty. I find no problem with that at all, but there are those of us, like myself, who ... 
Scott Miller RIP
Never heard of him or those bands. I will check it out. 
Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
Lacee,I agree with you completely. Everything makes a change, be it for the good or the bad. I have had many arguments with friends who ask me to explain why a tweek makes a difference, or how it is possible. My answer is that the fact that I can'...

Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
I bought 2 of the AMR fuses from Avatar, and they work as advertised. Overall improvement in detail and smoothness, especially in the midrange. If however you are looking for a quantum leap in system performance, get an Afterburner 8 wall outlet f...

Impressed by Pangea Audio AC-9SE
