Hello strangers. It's certainly been a while.
The long absence wasn't intentional. I just got caught up with the girlfriend's transcontinental visit and haven't had a chance to upload. Now that she's left, you once again have this lonely blogger's undivided attention.
I've always had a thing for audio (check out my review of the exceptional Sony MDR-V6 headphones here), whether it's in films, music, or the occasional (the girlfriend would disagree ) video game. However, due to my persistent tight-fistedness, all of my desktop entertainment needs were, until recently, fulfilled by a Logitech X-540 system. It provided decent-enough surround sound for its $40 fire sale price, but one of the speakers developed a rather distracting rattle outside of the warranty period.
