A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure?

Cartridge rings at certain high frequencies
Not an engineer of any kind, but looking at this from a deductive standpoint:I do have a DS player, not that is used a lot as vinyl is my prime listening pleasure, and I occasionally get the slight ringingsays to me that the issue is NOT in your v... 
Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic.

Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade?
Berkely- If you scroll around, you will find that most of us who hang out here on a long term basis are pretty good at sniffing out the shills. Although new ones do seem to pop up pretty regularly, when the BS alarm goes off, someone usually is qu...
