How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?

Changing the light bulb is all well and fine but we audiophiles all know that you have to change the room first. It's a must.

The type of bulb natters too. Forget this eco rubbish, I can tell you that NOS light bulbs are best but they're not cheap. Russian / Chinese replacements might well be acceptable....or they might not.

You might need 2 for stereo or perhaps even 4. Mono light is best left to the sun.

And whilst you're at it, don't forget the switch - faders are out!

Of course there are some who will always insist that scented candles are better.

Ideally it should be left to a qualified lightbulb changer. Only they have the tools and experience to set up the necessary alignments. You really wouldn't want a misaligned lightbulb.

But before you even begin such an tricky endeavour it's important that the qualified lightbulb changer has a quiet word with the lightbulb in private.

To save great cost in time and money it helps to know beforehand whether the lightbulb really wants to change.

@highfi , "All of us deserve to be screwed!"

But not until we've suffered months of meticulously agonising painstaking research and analysis (before, some might say, making the totally wrong decision). 

No short cuts to true audiophilia are allowed. We have to earn our stripes the hard way.
