    For that kind of green, I'd better be getting the "Happy Ending" whenever I LOOK at it...

    (for those of you who don't know what a "Happy ending is, pleas visit your local "FULL SERVICE" oriental massage;) :D:D:D )

    The real question is.....

    ...is $125,000.00 within the human range of hearing?

    or...

    ...how much is a Hz worth in today's market?

    $125k is indeed within the range of human hearing, and if my wife, the former Theresa Talamonti, heard that I spent $125k on audio she'd have me iced.

    I'd rather have one of Josh Stippich's tube creations, true art (that get's me strangely aroused ;-).
