 arrived yesterday, but I think there was a mistake at the printers.
The file of real audiophile customer pictures got mixed up with the file of attractive-people-for-picutre-frames file.

 My Audio Advisor holiday catalog has a bunch of old geezer and nerd photos throughout. There's even a fluffy white cotton candy haired 'wizard' on p22. Michael Fremer is gazing upward over his spectacles on p42. And a bunch of audio cable guys throughout the catalog. The only good looking people in the catalog are the headphone babes. Oh, and the one female customer toward the back of the catalog. ;-)

 don't look like they get much sunlight, do they?

(actually, I'm kidding -- I think George Cardas goes outside now and again)


all the best,

I'm not exactly catalog model material myself! The headphone babes were nice though. ;-)

 which is much easier to monitor since Warhol spoke and since the population has... blossomed.

 I did buy stuff from them maybe 5 to 7 years ago..
They still send me the catalogs. Same stuff, with maybe two new things out of the hundreds.
Eye candy enough to look through. But not enough to keep around.
Music Direct is a different story... Beautiful and interesting..
Audio Advisor is a mixed waste of time, Music Direct is a blessing.
