| Best steak to eat while listening to your rig? Nice choice on Steve's, Baka1969.I also like (the VERY non-PC named) Chink's when I'm up in that part of town.

| Mark at Rogue Audio Agreed, Mark is one of the best people in audio. But, that would all be for naught were his products not as good as they are.In my opinion, a buyer is making a foolish mistake to forego products from the likes of Quicksilver and Rogue for Chinese ... | |
