In a recent copy of the Audioadvisor catalog, i found a manufacturer's name that i had not seen or heard of before, the name 'Vincent Audio'.

Does anyone know about this company? Was not able to find anything on the web.

Most of these are pretty obvious, but when you're hustling for work and worried about that monthly rent bill, you can panic sometimes and fall for the old "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday" line.

Why a "download only" future will never happen. [I hope.]

Been thinking lately about how crappy the future would be if the only way you could purchase your music would be to download it via the internet. In other words, when recordings are no longer being sold as physical objects [LPs/CDs]. I include uncompressed files here too [flac, wav, etc]
