Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear
"You can live in the past or explore new artists.” Prog, “or”? Why do you regard them as mutually exclusive? I’m curious; do you feel the same way about literature? Why read old books like “Moby Dick” or “To Kill a Mockingbird” when there are so m...

Some Axpona thoughts
Hi Charles, sorry for the late reply. I didn’t spend enough time in the Volti room to give your questions the type of answers they deserve. I was only at the show for one day and was determined to pop into every room. That said, I can’t imagine ...
