In Reply to: Re: A question for Mr. Johnsen...and please be straight-up... posted by Guy on May 17, 2005 at 08:55:47:
...let's take a friend who tells me that if I have sixteen bucks more to blow on my $30K audio system, I might be charmed and delighted by what that $16 can buy. Would I try?That's exactly what happened to me.
Also that was the price on my first bottle of Optrix.
