    I didn't realize that Seinfeld is on CP: "Thread about Nothing"
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that I DID NOT order any Emo gear today and therefore will not be able to report anything when I don't receive it.

    You are not reading anything here because I also did not order any EMOTIVA gear, so there's nothing to see.

    But to be fair, I am willing to demo a RSP-2 if anyone is willing to let me have it. I would post a nice, long, readable review and maybe we could then laugh at all those EMO haters.
