[TenTec] eham centurion 0 review

[Steve M]

Hello David,

I agree 100%. He owned the amp, wrote an honest review, it should stay in
the reviews. Notice the amp now has a perfect record?

      I seriously doubt anyone at eham just read it and said "oh this isn't
a valid review, we'll have to move this". Not without some whiners helping!

      This kind of %^$#& reminds me of recent insider trading scandals--they
both stink.

73,
Steve  wd0ct
