i guess it's a hard business to be in, but this is disappointing news for someone who looked at Insound with a lot of respect. It's hard to trust retail sites and their recommendations when their owners and selling their own products through there as well. It was a good run, Insound.

"founded in 19998"

Wow, that's almost 18,000 years away!

I think they should give up music and invest their efforts in time travel!
