| The Killer Has Died Good riddance to a pedophile asshole. +10 | |
| Jumped the shark. ??? Are you still enjoying the Rogue? I believe that’s going to be my next purchase... | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range Check out the Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers. Bamboo cabinets, RAAL ribbon tweeter, and SEAS drivers (I think) An awful lot of speaker for the money. | |
| Phone preamp question @yogiboy , Agreed. I've bought several on EBay myself with zero problems. I guess my point was, which I didn't convey well is given the voluminous amount of sellers there, as always, check seller feedback and transaction numbers. | |
