    The rest is TBD.

    Hey, why are you out shopping?!

    You should be working on that MF A308 review! :)

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    I guess because I live in Bolingbrook and now have to drive to Schaumburg daily, my "local" area just got a lot wider LOL.
