has THAWTE secured ordering, and provides only FACTORY warranties.

On top of the consistently lowest price available on-line in the
U.S. for NEW HD600's, the only "two words" you need to know when you
want to buy a NEW pair of SENNHEISER HD600's, are "SOUND EMPORIUM."

"Consistently Low"? What a laugher. Others are far lower on Ebay and
elsewhere.

And they include a MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, not some "distributor's
warranty" that requires you send these suspect headphones back to
China or
Germany.

Legitimate sellers on the net like "hififorless.com" offer REAL
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES because they are AUTHORISED DEALERS.


Richer Sounds in the UK were selling the HD600 brand new for just £99
over Xmas!. I think even now the most you'll have to pay for a pair
from them is £120!!, you might wanna consider getting a pair from the
UK if your buying them outside the US.

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Along with Ebay,
where
they established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".

The St. Paul city treasurer's office, can find no such business
registered in St. Pau! The only two words people know with "sound
emporium" is "certified scamsters"!!!


Then there is what SENNHEISER USA has said:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"This outfit is not an authorized Sennheiser Dealer and as such we

P.S. Many, many thanks to Robert Morein for his countless defenses of The
Sound Emporium, and others who have been unjustly maligned by the RAPIST
McCarty, and for his post . . .

Brian,

On 12/10/02, I spoke to Mr. Douglas's superior, the V.P. for Marketing at
Sennheiser.

The point about which Mr. Douglas apparently confused you is that there are
two authorized DISTRIBUTORS, who sell to everybody else on a nonexclusive
basis.

Mr. Douglas may have phrased his answer in a way that confused you into
thinking that the actual retail of Sennheiser audiophile headphones is
carried out by an authorized dealer system. This is not true. It is
Sennheiser's specific strategy to get their headphones into as many small
establishments as possible. ANYONE may purchase headphones for resale from
one of the two DISTRIBUTORS.

Sennheiser informs me that there never have been any counterfeited Chinese
audiophile headphones. The counterfeits are in the computer product line.

The owner of Earmax, H. Huschens, gives me permission to quote part of his
email to me. It read as follows:

"To the point: Sound Emporium is a bona fide dealership for the EarMax
products. They have been a very good one, too, which is rare these days."

You made a mistake, Brian. Now stop.

Brian L. McCarty CONFIRMS that The Sound Emporium is indeed an Authorized
Creek Dealer. As before, working under cover as Lee Hodges, another McCarty
ALIAS, the INFAMOUS ne'er-do-well PERSONALLY contacted Creek who in turn
contacted Roy Hall, Sound Emporium's U.S. Creek distributor, and VERIFIED
that The Sound Emporium is indeed, you guessed it, an Authorized Creek
Dealer. YIPPEE!!! Thank you so much, Lee.

Affidavit on file - Authorized Creek Dealer



Although TOTALLY LOATHSOME and REPUGNANT, not to mention A CONVICTED RAPIST,
Lee Hodges, I mean Brian L. McCarty FINALLY did The Sound Emporium a favor
by involving its' distributors and by CONFIRMING The Sound Emporium's
AUTHORIZED STATUS. )

I do not condone the behavior of the MISCREANT known as Brian L. McCarty, I
mean Lee Hodges, I mean Anthony Ramallo, or whatever ALIAS he is using
today, nor do I encourage THE RAPIST's continued efforts to malign the FINE
reputation of The Sound Emporium, but our attorneys are smiling WIDELY given
this INFAMOUS ne'er-do-well's COUNTLESS LIBEL, SLANDER and DEFAMATION.

Keep it up, boy RAPIST, Brian L. McCarty, I mean Steven Kirhsner, I mean Lee
Hodges, I mean Anthony Ramallo, I mean BWAHAHA, or WHATEVER ALIAS you are
using nowadays because
you will SURELY end up in PRISON again!

Regards,

RB
The Sound Emporium


P.S. Many, many thanks to Robert Morein for his countless defenses of The
Sound Emporium, and others who have been unjustly maligned by the RAPIST
McCarty, and for his post . . .

Brian,

On 12/10/02, I spoke to Mr. Douglas's superior, the V.P. for Marketing at
Sennheiser.

The point about which Mr. Douglas apparently confused you is that there are
two authorized DISTRIBUTORS, who sell to everybody else on a nonexclusive
basis.

Mr. Douglas may have phrased his answer in a way that confused you into
thinking that the actual retail of Sennheiser audiophile headphones is
carried out by an authorized dealer system. This is not true. It is
Sennheiser's specific strategy to get their headphones into as many small
establishments as possible. ANYONE may purchase headphones for resale from
one of the two DISTRIBUTORS.

Sennheiser informs me that there never have been any counterfeited Chinese
audiophile headphones. The counterfeits are in the computer product line.

The owner of Earmax, H. Huschens, gives me permission to quote part of his
email to me. It read as follows:

"To the point: Sound Emporium is a bona fide dealership for the EarMax
products. They have been a very good one, too, which is rare these days."

You made a mistake, Brian. Now stop.

First of all, it's obvious that the accuser is an immoral person, because he

identity of the forger is Brian L. McCarty.

Sound Emporium has an unblemished record of customer satisfaction on this

Brian, they compare very favorably to

imagination.

"SOUND EMPORIUM": NO store, no wide selection, no goods. Just grey

JUNK sold without authorisation!

FALSE.

Mr. McCarty's MO is to make completely false accusations against blameless
companies. In fact, Sound Emporium is completely authorized for all the
brands that they sell, with the proviso that their Sennheiser offerings are
obtained through Sennheiser-sanctioned distributors. Unlike some other
companies, Sennheiser does not restrict sales points to a specific network
of dealers. Anyone may legitemately sell Sennheiser headphones.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!

The above must be the sound of Brian L. McCarty crying at the latest
exposure of his association with the notorious boiler-room securities
operation, Benson-Miller-Dupont.

Yes, Yes, Yes. This is an excellent company. No complaints, except for
forgeries by McCarty, have ever come to the attention of this forum.
Brian continues to
infringe on the intellectual property and trademarks of Orion Bluebooks,
Inc. Let's look at what Brian is up to now:

Why, Brian?
Our research into your scam disclosed the true meaning of
Benson-Miller-Dupont some time ago.
We disclose information when it's useful to do so.
In this case, we note the following from Brian L. McCarty's scam website,
http://www.worldjazz.com :

"OVER THE TOP" COMMISSION PAYOUTS PAID WEEKLY!
Last week supplementary payout to Carole Ahern, a backpacker
working in our Bangkok Office. Carole placed 842,400 shares
last week and gets a US$2000 bonus! Congrats Carole!
ASIAN REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE:
BENSON MILLER DUPONT INC.
CP TOWER - 33 SALOM ROAD
BANGKOK 10500 THAILAND"

But Benson-Miller-Dupont is a boiler room scam operation nailed three years
ago:
http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/...x_sheridan.htm
"Meanwhile, in July 2001, Thai police, Australian federal police and an FBI
legal adviser raided the offices of Benson Dupont Capital Management and the
Brinton Group in Silom Road in the business district of Bangkok. The
companies were accused of defrauding Australian citizens out of A$200
million under a range of different names and with different products."

"In their offices police found scripts that the salesmen followed. These
showed that the callers were expected to call from Tokyo to give their deals
more business credibility. Tokyo fact sheets were also found, indicating
that callers would chat to clients about the city as if they really lived
there."

Benson-Miller is also listed on
http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/...erseas_ops.htm

So what's the point, Brian? We know you haven't raised any money. Isn't it
about time to give up, have a good cry, and admit the obvious? Your
"worldjazz" scam is dead.

Now, after the failure of his two great scams, Coral Sea Studios and
WorldJAZZ.CON, Brian may very well spend the rest of his life scooping ice
cream in Cairns, Australia.

My condolences to Brian,
Bob Morein
Chairman, WorldJAZZ
Visit http://www.worldjazz.tv today!

His website has become increasingly a joke, but you can't use too many
nails, so here goes again:

Brian, we understand that you are a pariah.
Definition: a pariah is an outcast. You are someone so odious, you have no
friends.
Not even Jeff Wexler is your friend anymore.
He may be polite to you, but behind your back, he hates you for the
embarassment you have caused.

So we understand, this is why you hate humanity.
People who hate humanity are EVIL.
You, Brian L. McCarty, are EVIL
Brian L. McCarty = EVIL.

But we have made you pay a price.
We stopped the WorldJAZZ fraud cold.

Brian continues to ramp up the fake number of subscribers -- momentum is key
to an investment scam. Currently, the number stands at 70% subscribed.
What will he do when he reaches 100% ?

Wrap it around to zero?
Start a new IPO?
Recruit new fake people?

You're sooo entertaining, Brian, as you continue to lather on the malarkey.
I love this line: "OTC PINK SHEET LISTING CONFIRMED"
There's just one problem: You don't have a symbol.

and this one:
"SEE YOUR PHONEBANK MANAGER FOR SPECIAL
"OVER THE TOP" COMMISSION PAYOUTS PAID WEEKLY"

If you ever do get serious, Brian, we'll bust your ass.

Stay tuned for the amusing antics of Brian L. McCarty, the world's most
inept scammer.

Brian L. McCarty has established yet another front in his endless quest to
defraud investors with http://www.worldjazz.com
In case you are not familiar with this deception, various outfits around
Asia will provide you with a prestigious address and a maildrop, for a very
small monthly fee. This allows Brian to have the appearance of a worldwide

Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns, Australia.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have informed me that no
documents have ever been filed for WorldJAZZ.

With his WorldJAZZ scam in the spotlight, Brian L. McCarty is attempting to
avoid public embarassment by bringing it to a close as quickly as possible.

In recent days, he's been racheting up the subscription numbers;
"70% SUBSCRIBED AS OF MARCH 5th, 2004"
This, of course, is a complete lie.

McCarty is running a big risk here.
If he allows the scam to go on too long, the regulatory authorities might
catch him.
If he folds tomorrow, he'll know (as if we don't) that he's nothing more
than a bad joke. But he can't allow his detractors to turn him into Jay Leno
material, so he will quickly finish the "subscription".

In recent days, McCarty has added two fictitious people to his website:
1. " Ron Groove Davis", who McCarty originally created as "Wes Groove Davis"
2. "Alexei Afonin" (notelephonin) ?
These are added to "Krishna Mahbren", who was created from a living person,
Krishna Mahadoo.

In the meantime, it has been verified that McCarty has an extremely bad
reputation in Cairns, where local businessmen regard him with suspicion.
Communication continues on this subject.

Brian L. McCarty is currently attempting investment fraud. McCarty is an
American citizen, living as an expatriate in Australia. Please read below
for the
details.

The website is remarkable in that it does not contain a single truthful
statement. It changes constantly. Always prominent are nonexistent people
as frontmen, and affiliation with nonexistent events. Previous versions have
also featured fictional alliances with large companies, and with nonexistent
companies. From time to time, McCarty also steals the names of actual people
to decorate his websites. For example, in the case of
http://www.coralseastudios.com , my name, Robert Morein, was once featured
as
an "endorsement."

From the current version of the website:

IPO ALLOCATIONS NOW UNDERWAY

(nonexistent event)
Live broadcast planned September 22-25, 2004.

Brian L. McCarty lives at 65 Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns,
Queensland, Australia.
His current website, http://www.worldjazz.com, is a farrago of lies,
fictitious
front people, and nonexistent associations. Speculation as to why McCarty
viciously attacks individuals who at the worst, might have slight
irregularities in business registrations, revolves around his suddenly
leaving the United States in the late 1990's. One rumor has it that McCarty
was about to be charged with a sex crime, and that he avoided prosecution by
leaving. It is possible McCarty paid off the victim's family.

Once in Australia, McCarty founded Coral Seas Studios, which quickly became
financially insolvent. Perhaps the major backer, ABN Amro, already detected
anomalies in McCarty's personality. Following that business failure, which
became a minor issue in the reelection of P.M. John Howard, McCarty
concentrated on funding a second initiative, "WorldJAZZ", a scheme for
Internet broadcasting. But with his reputation damaged and cut off from
legitmate business activity, McCarty's predatory tendency came more to the
fore. His website became ever more devious in an attempt to lure investors.

In 2003, notices appeared in several online publications that McCarty was
producing jazz broadcast material for Gene Parrish
(http://www.worldwidejazz.com ) Notices appeared in a publication of the
Embassy of France, and in one other publication. Mr. Parrish is a noted NPR
jazz broadcast host. When contacted, it was apparent that Parrish had never
heard of McCarty. While I cannot prove that McCarty posted these bogus
notices, he certainly had the motive to do so.

Following the exposure of the false producing notices, McCarty's name
completely vanished from the Internet. He resorted entirely to false
identities to create business partners who do not exist. As of 1/14/03, a
quick glance at http://www.worldjazz.com, discloses the following:

(Note: the following actually applies to the version of the website prior to
1/20/04, but it is relevant nevertheless:

1. Clicking on the banner "WorldJAZZ" produces an unresolved link to K1
Ventures, the largest venture capital company in Singapore. In discussion
with that company's secretary, she disavowed any connection between them and
McCarty, and was shocked at his implication that they were involved.

2. "Dr. Krishna Mahbren" is derived from a real person, Krishna Mahadoo,
V.P. of Beverly Hills Film Studios, a pink-sheet stock. McCarty cruises the
Internet for companies that don't answer the phone. McCarty made Mahadoo an
employee of that company's stock transfer agent, First American Stock
Transfer of Phoenix. When I pointed this out in a usenet post and notified
Mr. Mahdoo by mail, McCarty changed the company to "First American Stock of
Denver." Then he changed Mahadoo to Mahbren, and tacked on a "Dr." to the
phony name.

3. The claim that Moscow Central TV is to use material supplied by WorldJAZZ
is doubtful, as they were notified by mail. This claim has been made for the
better part of a year. When the date expires, McCarty simply creates a new
one.

4. "Event Sponsorship 2nd Year Running". This event does not exist. There is
no "Jersey Jazz Bass Festival." Previously, the website has exhibited a link

to the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. This locale has a surf
fishing festival, the Jersey Bass festival. There is no music festival. In
the past, association was advertised with "jazz musician" Peter Thliveros,
who is, in fact, a professional bass fisherman, not a musician.

5. The website is registered to "David Ellison", a fictitious person. In
the past, many different fictitious persons have been used, in conjunction
with yahoo mailboxes. Among McCarty's aliases, we have: Krishna Mahadoo,
Anthony Ramallo, David Ellison, David C.L. Feng, Ying Hong Huang, Lee
Hodges, Melinda Hsu, Melinda Shu, Robert Morein, Robert X Morein, Sylvan
Morein, Sylvan X Morein, et al.

6. The website morphs constantly. McCarty combs the Internet for identities
to steal. He chooses victims who do not represent themselves on the Web, and
are not easily reached by phone.

7. McCarty's other website, http://www.coralseastudios.com, has a similar
history. In the past, McCarty has actually used MY name as an endorsement,
apparently as a taunt, even though it makes extremely bad business sense.
Fortunately, Coral Seas went belly up, although the website lives on as a
zombie.

The obvious question is, if McCarty is so anxious to scam, why does he make
a constant racket under easily detectable fictitious names? It appears that
part of McCarty's mental illness is a distortion of reality. McCarty has an
obsession with the formal aspects of registering a business. To him, the "in
print" appearance is all that counts. It doesn't occur that people can
detect the reality that lies beyond. To McCarty fictitious names and posting

aliases are a real shield, just like a cat will crawl into a shopping bag to
hide.

McCarty had an early scheme for Internet radio. He claims to have sold
musical performance properties and/or a business plan to Black Entertainment
Television for $9.2M. Subsequently, he left Los Angeles. One unsubstantiated
rumor is that he left to avoid prosecution for a sex crime, presumably by
paying off the victim or family. Once in Australia, he made the acquaintance
of the brother of P.M. John Howard, who introduced him to contacts at ABN
Amro, an investment banking firm. They created a business plan for some kind
of a sound studio, still represented by the website
http://www.coralseastudios.com. After approximately a year, ABN withdrew
from partnership, but left the studio project still solvent. Some time
later, it went bankrupt or nearly so, owing $270,000 to it's employees. At
this point, Australia's entitlement law kicked in, paying the employees
monies owed them, with the exception of codirectors McCarty and Jeff Wexler.

It would appear that McCarty's enterprises failed because he has some kind
of mental imbalance, which exhibits signs of both schizophrenia and
obsessive-compulsive disorder. The impersonations which he makes of me are
a fraction of the numerous identities which he has used in the past, and
continues to use, on occasion, in the present. McCarty may actually believe
he is the person who he impersonates. Many of the identities are of
elaborate construction, taking some six months or more to take shape.
McCarty seems to have a magical belief that use of false identities provides
a shield.

But why would McCarty want to escape his own identity so badly? Speculation
centers around the possibility that he did something not socially acceptable
in Los Angeles.

(not true)
EVENT SPONSORSHIP: WorldJAZZ has been named OFFICIAL CO-SPONSOR of the 2004
Jersey Jazz Bass Festival (second year running!)
(nonexistent event)
Live broadcast planned September 22-25, 2004.

Brian L. McCarty lives at 65 Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns,
Queensland, Australia.
His current website, http://www.worldjazz.com, is a farrago of lies,
fictitious
front people, and nonexistent associations. Speculation as to why McCarty
viciously attacks individuals who at the worst, might have slight
irregularities in business registrations, revolves around his suddenly
leaving the United States in the late 1990's. One rumor has it that McCarty
was about to be charged with a sex crime, and that he avoided prosecution by
leaving. It is possible McCarty paid off the victim's family.

Once in Australia, McCarty founded Coral Seas Studios, which quickly became
financially insolvent. Perhaps the major backer, ABN Amro, already detected
anomalies in McCarty's personality. Following that business failure, which
became a minor issue in the reelection of P.M. John Howard, McCarty
concentrated on funding a second initiative, "WorldJAZZ", a scheme for
Internet broadcasting. But with his reputation damaged and cut off from
legitmate business activity, McCarty's predatory tendency came more to the
fore. His website became ever more devious in an attempt to lure investors.

In 2003, notices appeared in several online publications that McCarty was
producing jazz broadcast material for Gene Parrish
(http://www.worldwidejazz.com ) Notices appeared in a publication of the
Embassy of France, and in one other publication. Mr. Parrish is a noted NPR
jazz broadcast host. When contacted, it was apparent that Parrish had never
heard of McCarty. While I cannot prove that McCarty posted these bogus
notices, he certainly had the motive to do so.

Following the exposure of the false producing notices, McCarty's name
completely vanished from the Internet. He resorted entirely to false
identities to create business partners who do not exist. As of 1/14/03, a
quick glance at http://www.worldjazz.com, discloses the following:

(Note: the following actually applies to the version of the website prior to
1/20/04, but it is relevant nevertheless:

1. Clicking on the banner "WorldJAZZ" produces an unresolved link to K1
Ventures, the largest venture capital company in Singapore. In discussion
with that company's secretary, she disavowed any connection between them and
McCarty, and was shocked at his implication that they were involved.

2. "Dr. Krishna Mahbren" is derived from a real person, Krishna Mahadoo,
V.P. of Beverly Hills Film Studios, a pink-sheet stock. McCarty cruises the
Internet for companies that don't answer the phone. McCarty made Mahadoo an
employee of that company's stock transfer agent, First American Stock
Transfer of Phoenix. When I pointed this out in a usenet post and notified
Mr. Mahdoo by mail, McCarty changed the company to "First American Stock of
Denver." Then he changed Mahadoo to Mahbren, and tacked on a "Dr." to the
phony name.

3. The claim that Moscow Central TV is to use material supplied by WorldJAZZ
is doubtful, as they were notified by mail. This claim has been made for the
better part of a year. When the date expires, McCarty simply creates a new
one.

4. "Event Sponsorship 2nd Year Running". This event does not exist. There is
no "Jersey Jazz Bass Festival." Previously, the website has exhibited a link

to the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. This locale has a surf
fishing festival, the Jersey Bass festival. There is no music festival. In
the past, association was advertised with "jazz musician" Peter Thliveros,
who is, in fact, a professional bass fisherman, not a musician.

5. The website is registered to "David Ellison", a fictitious person. In
the past, many different fictitious persons have been used, in conjunction
with yahoo mailboxes. Among McCarty's aliases, we have: Krishna Mahadoo,
Anthony Ramallo, David Ellison, David C.L. Feng, Ying Hong Huang, Lee
Hodges, Melinda Hsu, Melinda Shu, Robert Morein, Robert X Morein, Sylvan
Morein, Sylvan X Morein, et al.

6. The website morphs constantly. McCarty combs the Internet for identities
to steal. He chooses victims who do not represent themselves on the Web, and
are not easily reached by phone.

7. McCarty's other website, http://www.coralseastudios.com, has a similar
history. In the past, McCarty has actually used MY name as an endorsement,
apparently as a taunt, even though it makes extremely bad business sense.
Fortunately, Coral Seas went belly up, although the website lives on as a
zombie.

The obvious question is, if McCarty is so anxious to scam, why does he make
a constant racket under easily detectable fictitious names? It appears that
part of McCarty's mental illness is a distortion of reality. McCarty has an
obsession with the formal aspects of registering a business. To him, the "in
print" appearance is all that counts. It doesn't occur that people can
detect the reality that lies beyond. To McCarty fictitious names and posting

aliases are a real shield, just like a cat will crawl into a shopping bag to
hide.

McCarty had an early scheme for Internet radio. He claims to have sold
musical performance properties and/or a business plan to Black Entertainment
Television for $9.2M. Subsequently, he left Los Angeles. One unsubstantiated
rumor is that he left to avoid prosecution for a sex crime, presumably by
paying off the victim or family. Once in Australia, he made the acquaintance
of the brother of P.M. John Howard, who introduced him to contacts at ABN
Amro, an investment banking firm. They created a business plan for some kind
of a sound studio, still represented by the website
http://www.coralseastudios.com. After approximately a year, ABN withdrew
from partnership, but left the studio project still solvent. Some time
later, it went bankrupt or nearly so, owing $270,000 to it's employees. At
this point, Australia's entitlement law kicked in, paying the employees
monies owed them, with the exception of codirectors McCarty and Jeff Wexler.

It would appear that McCarty's enterprises failed because he has some kind
of mental imbalance, which exhibits signs of both schizophrenia and
obsessive-compulsive disorder. The impersonations which he makes of me are
a fraction of the numerous identities which he has used in the past, and
continues to use, on occasion, in the present. McCarty may actually believe
he is the person who he impersonates. Many of the identities are of
elaborate construction, taking some six months or more to take shape.
McCarty seems to have a magical belief that use of false identities provides
a shield.

But why would McCarty want to escape his own identity so badly? Speculation
centers around the possibility that he did something not socially acceptable
in Los Angeles.

Richer Sounds in the UK were selling the HD600 brand new for just £99

Bwine is just jealous! For anyone to have 360 feedback with 100% perfect is

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Along with Ebay,
where
they established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".

The St. Paul city treasurer's office, can find no such business
registered in St. Pau! The only two words people know with "sound
emporium" is "certified scamsters"!!!


Then there is what SENNHEISER USA has said:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"This outfit is not an authorized Sennheiser Dealer and as such we
cannot guarantee the authenticity or the legitimacy of this product
offering. I suggest you purchase your HD600 from one of our
authorized
dealers in order to secure legitimate, factory fresh product."

Buffet 1

Show off with whole roasted children replete with apples in mouths -
and babies? heads stuffed with wild rice. Or keep it simple with a
hearty main course such as stew, lasagna, or meat loaf.

Some suggestions

Pre-mie pot pies, beef stew, leg of lamb, stuffed chicken, roast pork spiral ham,
Cranberry pineapple salad, sweet potatoes in butter, vegetable platter, tossed salad with tomato and avocado, parsley new potatoes, spinich cucumber salad, fruit salad
Bran muffins, dinner rolls, soft breadsticks, rice pilaf, croissants
Apple cake with rum sauce, frosted banana nut bread sherbet, home made brownies
Iced tea, water, beer, bloody marys, lemonade, coffee

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table.
They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from
carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the
service stations.



Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes,
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook
it to perfection!

1 high quality limb, rack, or roast
Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts).
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions,
and placing whole cloves deep int

New name - - same old SCAMMERS!

Sound Emporium has stepped up their PHONY TESTIMONIALS in response to
the enquiries we have received about this vendor. HIFIFORLESS.COM is
clearly the PEOPLE'S CHOICE, Sound Emporium are NOT!

EMPORIUM n
1. a store, usually a large store, that offers a wide selection of
goods

"SOUND EMPORIUM": NO store, no wide selection, no goods. Just grey
market
JUNK sold without authorisation!

SOUND EMPORIUM has been revealed to be a scam operation selling counterfeit
and/or grey market products. Despite their constantly changing name and
morphing into different "companies", Sound Emporium is a feckless fraud!

Notice too that this scamster keeps posting under phony names, first
"Robert Benson" than Benson Manga, then last week as "jeffbeck". Now a new
fraudulent address hiding behind giganews and usfamily.net!


Robert Benson
Suzanne Manka

Are the likely culprits, although they are hiding behind layers of
anonymous
email addresses.
Service? Nope. Support? Nope.

No phone number. No verifiable email address. Hiding behind
sockpuppets
and anonymous email servers isn't the hallmark of a "quality" vendor.

A quality vendor like "hififorless.com" has verifiable phones and
addresses,
has THAWTE secured ordering, and provides only FACTORY warranties.

The mark of a quality vendor!


On top of the consistently lowest price available on-line in the
U.S. for NEW HD600's, the only "two words" you need to know when you
want to buy a NEW pair of SENNHEISER HD600's, are "SOUND EMPORIUM."
)


"Consistently Low"? What a laugher. Others are far lower on Ebay and
elsewhere.

And they include a MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, not some "distributor's
warranty" that requires you send these suspect headphones back to
China or
Germany.

Legitimate sellers on the net like "hififorless.com" offer REAL
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES because they are AUTHORISED DEALERS.


Richer Sounds in the UK were selling the HD600 brand new for just £99
over Xmas!. I think even now the most you'll have to pay for a pair
from them is £120!!, you might wanna consider getting a pair from the
UK if your buying them outside the US.
