Fubar III w/Windows 7
Thank you guys for the reply Tenzip, I did what you suggested and I didn't see any of them popping over. I thought exactly the same thing when those issues started, but I haven't been able to isolate the problem yet. Im going to try and get my hands on a RAM test disk and see if perhaps...- StayOnBoard

Little Country III from Firestone. Any users out there?
I just replied to a similar post (should have copied and pasted) but I absolutely love my LCIII.

It does everything I expected...- StayOnBoard

Firestone Little Country
I bought mine here. You're very right - its pretty pricy. I had a very hard time deciding if it was worth nearly $500, but honestly I absolutely love it and I can't imagine if I picked up something else. If you have any questions - also feel free to ask! Good luck!- StayOnBoard

Very surprised by the SQ from Firestone Audio Fubar III

Firestone Cute BEYOND or ENCORE
