Yeah, and they're good enough that they've unlocked a hunger I had successfully suppressed. The Dutch would not be to replace the Audioplans in my mind, they'd go somewhere else (where I could possibly play louder).

I'll get over it in a week or two.

I'm not sure I'm ready to make this kinda leap again!
