Hehehe... wanted to see how many people would click in the topic to see if I was really that stupid!

Probably should have saved it for April 1!

Hehehe... I'm glad to see that the video is still up. I heard they were going to take it down. Classic!
BTW... I've been working a lot lately and I'm trading out my old JBL4410s for these bad boys!!! Placed my order with Thomann today!

Re: Defragging my SSD today
Thanks... makes me feel like a big boy now. I'm going to repair my JBL 4410s and probably sell them or move them into the living room. They were hand me downs. A friend gave him to me after I helped him move. But yeah... bro... I've been busting my butt and working a lot lately. Accounts receivables are good. I can swing it without touching savings or going into debt. Even took a job coming up I really didn't want to do so I could use it toward these. So I figured quit drooling over YouTube reviews and go for it.

I'm probably gonna retire my ASP8s as well. Currently they're sitting on my desk and I'm thinking of maybe getting a different set of monitors that are smaller that will provide a greater contrast and are better for checking different things. Mix cubes maybe? Too bad I sold my NS-10Ms (although not a huge fan).
