    Who is this Ricardo guy.............does he build amps:confused::D
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. 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 | Holo Audio Cyan 2 Dac | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul!

    Emo is not made in America. Take a look at what hi-fi gear is made here though, much of it is far from crap.

    I'm playing the "Jazz at the Pawnshop" SACD. Sounds good, but the LP's sound better. I miss my turntable. I wish those damn cables were here already.

    My daughter just called me; she's with a friend at the Twilight thing at Borders. Luckily her friend's mom volunteered to take them, or I would be there (Sorry Doug...).

    I heard Obama bowled a 129 recently. Do you think Emos would make good weightlifting plates...they sure weigh enough for the Governator to do dumble sets with them?
