Well this link will start many arguments!

Are you talking about largemouth bass, or smallmouth bass?

@willyht vacuum cleaning on a 1 to 10

l have discovered the efficiency of vacuum cleaners have severely diminished since all those cordless (no problem with what cable there) models have replaced the hard wired 1000W ones. More power in those olden days rewarded by better quality suckers.

Can anyone recommend a good cordless vacuum cleaner that does not loose suction after a few years? I am a self confessed fetishised fan for those long hose extensions. To get right in there with the spaghetti jungle of cables and hi-fi regalia appendages. 

Oh by the way, returning on track to the debate. I agree with the head/brain burn in syndrome. Sometimes, some people are just fooling themselves after an expensive upgrade, to justify the money that has been sucked out of their vaults.

@ghdprentice You have nailed it. 
 

Your system(s) don’t suck!
 

l fancy a horse driven sucker like the one you have. I am ordering my basement straight away.

On a serious note, it is a never ending quest to keep all the stuff hi-fi wise clear of dust. It acts like a dust magnet. There have been many humorous debates about this already on Audiogon.
