Re: A Good Audio System Is the Best Stress Relief Money Can Buy
Good article. Several themes discussed there. One being that it is so much cheaper to have an audiophile system today than in the past!
"Today, you can put an audiophile system together that costs a quarter as much that destroys the performance of what we could do a generation ago. "

I'm also a cyclist; every morning and I agree, it keeps me sane.
