Now- a request for all of you out there. Columnist Mike Royko, back in the early '70's, wrote a column titled "Wow! What an ear for music." In this column, in his inimitable style, Mike explained the mindset of the REAL stereo enthusiast.
If anyone has a link.... I'd love to see that column added to this thread!
