Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store


.
I am currently pretty satisfied with my system the way it is right now. I am not in the market for any new purchases right now, mainly because I don't have the discretionary income to make big changes. However, sometimes I get the urge to want to go into a hifi store just to look. Eventually I will upgrade my speakers, cd player, preamp, a new dac for sure and may give class D amps a shot...but not right now.

Is it cool to go into a store just to look around, knowing you don't have the money or immediate need for an item?

Adam18 - You've got it bad. The audiophile thing, that is. The bell sounds best live ........... and always will despite any pricey mods or upgrades to reproduction equipment.
Someone once said, "...for whosoever believeth in me shall have everlasting life." Maybe he should have said, "...for whomsoever believeth in me..."
Madam,
This is the sort of pedantic nonsense up with which I shall not put.

After Winston Churchill's secretary corrected a sentence in a letter she was typing because he had ended a it with a preposition, he returned it to her to be retyped. The above quote was attached.

Maybe we are leaning a bit too hard on this triviality. This is the internet, after all. Everything is misspelled with bad grammar. The English language I was taught in school will be completely bastardized or obliterated in just 2 more generations. And what has rap and texting done to spelling already?
"Maybe we are leaning a bit too hard on this triviality."

My intent was more about providing a diffuser to the other thread (hence the smiley).

FWIW, I like how Frogman cites Microsoft as a source authority on English Grammar. :-D

Also, Almarg's comments are correct:
he/who - nominative
him/whom - objective
Well, I guess that settles it and I agree that MW is hardly authoritative. Now, your attempt at diffusing the tenor of the original thread completely ignored my attempt at diffusing by not acknowledging my brilliant and very insightful :-) comment about the role that command of a language plays in how a sentiment comes a cross in print; especially when that language is not one's first.
