    Hello and thank you!

    Just wanted to post and say thanks for the add and thanks for saving me from the clutches of audio voodooism. I've been lurking for a few weeks now and cannot stress enough how much of a relief it has been to know that I'm not alone. It was seeing batteries attached to speaker wire that first...
