    Haha... Annual salary has nothing to do with it bro. I make 10x the wife but I still have to get approval.

    But yeah, now you got my ears piqued... What kind of system are you running there man?

    Funny. It was never about the pay, the local guys that know me know it was a joke.

    I will take care of your taxi to my place and back home, because everyone that comes never leaves sober. That is my only rule. If you are game, count me in. Haha

    I am into bookies. They are fun and versatile. I do not have a be all, end all, type of mentality. It is about the journey, adventure and gradual change in taste, never about the "The End".

    I have Elac bookies right now and have paired it up with various amps and DAC's. I have a Lampizator Dac coming in as well as a couple others. Could the overall sound of the Elac compare to my Usher 777 Diamonds? No. But I like variety. Lol

    Fawk me... 2 year old strads popped up. Price is a little high, will probably wait a bit and let it linger and then offer 20% off.

    Too soon too soon... Wallet needs to heal but dang that's a smokin deal if i can get it for 20. And considering it's taken like 6 months for a decent deal to post...

    But wife said no and I agree, it's way too soon. *sigh*

    Will keep an eye on it tho...
