Artists from J-Lo to P-Diddy to Ice-T and many others make mention of all kinds of luxury brands as a way of showing off their �bling bling� lifestyles within their songs.

Ever seen a photo of Ronnie Rotel or Dick Denon? Unlike huge faceless corporations, Sunfire is the unique, personal vision of one audio genius, Bob Carver.

He wanted to express these ideas in meticulously-built, premium audio products that would offer exceptional value and sound quality. And that�s what you get when you buy Sunfire. A great product from the mind and soul of Bob Carver. http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/sunfire.html Introducing the completely redesigned RBH MC Series Mark II Designed for both audio and home theater enthusiasts, the MC Series features RBH's proprietary aluminum cone technology; the same technology in their flagship products.

Conventional power conditioners merely filter the noise, protect against surges, and in some cases regulate voltage. PurePower connects you to a new, stable power source, off the power grid, as though you were hooked up to the cleanest power station in North America. Even if the inbound voltage is zero, PurePower keeps your system operating perfectly with its built-in back-up battery system. Perfect voltage sinewave, total freedom from line noise, distortion, surges, and sags. Click below to learn more... http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/audiophileaps.html Like what you read?

I�d like to think there�s no one to blame for this mess, except you, if you fall for it, or me, if I don�t warn you. Tina Turner has had a great career. She�s a legend. And if the legend felt it was past time long ago to collect some serious cash for all those years of paying dues, especially since her dues involved a certain guitar player�s knuckles, who can blame her? Even if it meant going to the dark side, the pop side, yea verily, the dreck side.
