In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

Other; S60'S, M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.
There are three things that give a man a false sense of courage, a keyboard, alcohol and a firearm.

the substitution of politics for existence is the supreme betrayal of the subjective otherness of man.
We still hope for a digital resurrection.

witness protection bro
Always yackin' about cables, running around with no pants, locking himself out of everything he owns, house, cars, online accounts....chasing flying squirrels around in the middle of the night in his underwear, taking unsavory pictures of naked men, sending people dead fish in their mailboxes...
Who does those things ?
Guy's elevator didn't go all the way up, know what I'm sayin' ?
Beds?
I actually think he's gone on the lam -- sittin' on a cache of black paint... but I am merely speculating.
Then one day he did the wrong thing
And bada boom bada bing!
Now he can't get in! Holi Moli!

Green paint Mark....you have to spray the ground after digging a hole to make it look natural again.

I think that's all I can say, though.
I had an Italian helicopter once.
I think that's all I can say, too.
Went back to get a refund and the Italian wanted to break my tumbs. He stated that I should just Fuggett about it or some s***! The nerve of that guy.

Still kind of have her. Afraid to get rid of her.
Does that make me an Italian?
No, but if you went back a second time, that would make you a mas-o-chist.
Some dude called him an Italian phony
now the guys dead
From a bashed in head
He will swim with fishies in the morning
