    I've seen that ad before......but I can't remember where. I don't think it was on the internet, perhaps on one of those banned commercial TV shows. I usually don't watch those types of shows, but maybe that's where I've seen it. Too bad, it's a great commercial.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Yeah, i remember reading something about it a while back, they didn't want to air it because it "promoted violence".
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
