Life beyond Jolida?
There is no life beyond Jolida. It is the end of it all, there is only one thing after Jolida - eternal darkness, gnashing of teeth, and sorrowful moans of regret. 
Why China Isnt Happening Yet
I find it very ironic that some people at this forum have a bleeding heart for the oppressed, underpaid and generally abused Chinese workers, while their counterparts here are barely making a living, with no job security of any sort and in virtual... 
Naming your child after Audio equipment?
I've actually known a dude whose first name was Nokia, that's the phone company. He said his unwed mother was so thrilled with her first cell-phone that she couldn't help but name him after it. You make your own conclusions

Do you care about the LOOK???
Bigjoe,A true watch connoisseur would not be caught dead (and I mean it!) wearing a bloody Rolex the same way as an audiophile listening to a set of Bose speakers. The only thing those companies do well is aggressive adverizing. However, both comp... 
Do you care about the LOOK???
"Elegant, just like a Rolex..."Darn it, when will people learn that Rolex is not elegant, or accurate, or well-made but rather is a tasteless equivalent of Bose.... 
I fell victim to a scam
Commonly, we are victims of our own greed. If a deal is too good to be true from someone with zero feed-back and they want untraceable money-order (or, even paypal), stay away! Or at least insist on COD. It is just common sense. 
Best speakers for Pass Aleph 30 ?
