    The world is full of seasons; of anguish, of laughter

    Nothing is sure
    Nothing is pure
    And no matter who we think we are
    Everybody gets a chance to be nothing

    Banning only occur if you played it backwards. So long as we don't know which direction it was played.... it remains nothing.

    In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

    The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.
