Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

Am I a burning out audiophile????
You need to mental-floss your brain. How? Sell everything that is insanely expensive. Go a month without ANY music to erase recent memory of ''sound'' and start with fresh mind . . . | 41 |

Is seller negative feedback a deal-breaker ?
Jylee, funny that you mention that ''I've tried leaving a couple of negative feedbacks to other members and none of them went through.'' Same thing happened to me as recently as 2. . . | 12 |
