Wow! What a thread! And I thought it was cables that got most of the people all riled up!
Is not variety the spice of life? How about we argue about whether blondes make better wives than a brunette, or how come I have owned six Mustangs but won't buy a Camaro? The simple fact of all of this bickering, sniping etc. is no one likes everything, and it is no ones concern whether they like what you have as long as you are happy with what you have! Have we not reached an age where it is up to us whether we like what we have and if we are buying things audio just for the praise that we expect to get from others, or acceptance like we sought in middle school and that is why we all had to have certain brand shoes, shirts, pants etc. then perhaps it is time to do some self-examination. And perhaps I misundertood the context of the first half-dozen to dozen postings and if I have then I apologize. For me, I like to see what people own for the sheer pleasure of educating myself. I have heard $100K systems that sounded just awful and systems that were a helluva lot less that sang like a heavenly choir. So, in the immortal words of that person who once lived in L.A, "Can't we all just get along"?
