Gary Gand 03/14/11 01:09 PM,Attention shoppers: the good news is that in this century, there is very little bad sound equipment.

But the stuff coming out of the factories - and even a lot of the proprietary (home brew) gear - is light years beyond the stuff we all got stuck with in the past. A not-so-famous… View this story
