Let’s just say that anyone who spends time on an audiophile web site is pretty serious.  We have already estimated on a different thread that percentage of the general public that cares about audiophilia is under one percent, probably a few hundred thousand in the US.  And then only a small fraction of that group will care enough to discuss these issues regularly on line.  So folks by virtue of us being here we are all at least a 9 in my book

I made a decision long ago to not be one of those crazy people.

I killed off most of my serious brain cells in the 70's.  But if I lived close to any high-end stereo shops I might be thinking.......
