Ridiculous resale price of vintage equiment
No they're fine. I'm a Mac guy.. The only thing better than Mac Vintage is more Mac vintage. Price out a pair Model 9 Reissue. Sansui when it's done right is one of the best sounding valve amps around.. Marantz has a flavor that's hard to beat if ... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
I remember they bought a slough of those thing for the skating ring and hung them all way up in the top. They sounded wonderful for about two weeks. Somebody got in the place and stole everyone. I worked there. I though it was funny. We rolled out...

Another Subwoofer Cable Topic

What matters in an ad?
It's not the booze it's the pills, pot, mushrooms and GLUE.. Even I know that. :-)  
Chinese Cables that sound good
I see they have no WELFARE in China. Forced labor? You mean if they want to eat they have to work. I sure wish they would implement that in the US. If you don't work you don't eat. I like the idea. With 1.3 billion people in one country and have ...
