| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is For ultimate customization you gotta go latex. Different firmnesses of both Dunlop and Talalay, normally three layers, in a host of different perms and coms, with the option to customize each side of a queen or king mattress. | |

| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! @verdantaudio I heard the MC Audiotech at the 2018 CAF and was really impressed by it. Back then they were talking about a launch beginning of 2019. When that didn't happen I kind of assumed that they had gone under. Then they popped up again ... | |
