What Is This Hobby?
I didn't think that "this" or "our" was in question but rather hobby? I think Onhwy61 makes a very strong point about Audiogon forum's. The forum's bring enthusiast's together and without intent, it promotes the hobby and makes us all feel good ab... 
What Is This Hobby?
Hobbyists are usually building or collecting things. I don't think too many of us are building our own gear, but we have probably collected a great deal of electronics over the years. It seems like "the Hobby" is another way to sum up the Quest fo... 
What are we really trying to replicate?
CD's are mass produced as well and not sure what you mean by CD's provide whatever is recorded on them. Many CD's will make your ears bleed and I don't think that is what was intended in the studio. I haven't been into vinyl for over 15 years alth...

Dark Side of the Moon 30th Anniv Album
If I live another 30 years, This album is going to be remastered, remixed, repackaged, repeated and repeated until it no longer sounds like the original released by Pink Floyd in 1973. I am Dark Sided out with way too many versions of this classic. 
What's the best HDMI cable that you have tried ?

Anti Cables Speaker Wire
Anticables take a long time to break in, but I think they are worth the wait. 
Have you heard Crystal Bowersox?
She seems to have the most natural talent and appeal. I think she is going to win!
