What sounds more musical than audionote equipment
This may again sound arrogant, but it is the truth.Uh-huh. it only describes the ability of a hifi system to accurately convey the messages of the musical piece as it was seen by the musicians. VERY VERY FEW pieces of hifi have ever managed this i... 
Your listening chair
nothing is sacred including the age-old black leather chairJust stay away from the Benny Hill edition. Squeaks worse than Ned Beatty.And Gunbei, you stay away of the rest stops, OK?
