Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile?

AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
@folkfreak Hi Folkfreak, I'm sorry. My post was a bit tongue in cheek. I agree with your post and I suspect a lot more people will read it and learn something. 
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
The room can only be sorted once you are happy with your system. Once the acoustics are right, invariably you don't like the sound created by a component or cable (if you believe cables make a difference), then you change the sound, so you need to... 
Whats playing on your system today?
To EVERONE, thankyou for revealing so many artists and their music. I have enough for the rest of my life I think, but keep going. There are more nuggets of gold still to be found.CheersAdrian

New way for audiophiles to die!
Not a nice subject to bring up, but it would be more efficient to bury people in circular casts vertically. You would only need a post hole digger and much less space needed, if you wanted to remain intact rather "blowin' in the wind"...

Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
@geoffkait The essential thing that needs to be acknowledged it that irrespective of the cable, interface or component, each of us will draw a different conclusion according to the system being listened to.In this case no natter of wires, fuses or... 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
Find an Ayre K3x with phono. Why waste more money for little gain. Because it is new and fancy, doesn't necessarily mean you will get that exponential gain in listening pleasure.Use your spare cash on something else worthwhile to you. How many ent... 
Delete "Cable Snake Oil Anecdote" Thread!
To you, to us individually yes. That may be a yes or a no. That's your answer. Its up to the individual, not the colosseum of the crowd cheering or jeering for one side or another. We're past the gladiator times I hope.
