| How does one get off the merry-go-round? There is no escape, it's like the Mafia, you can't quit. You can settle down for 6-12 months (in remission) but it always comes back :-) | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Wow, I think that I spend more on my cars and less on my audio than some people here. I drive a BMW and a Nissan Armada. | |

| Best Floorstander Under 10K? PSB Stratus Gold i's at $2700 will give a lot of stuff under 10k a very hard run for the money. They need quality electronics and sources and lot's of juice. | |

| How frequently do you check Audiogon listings? 2-3 times per day. Every few hours if I'm looking for something. It is frustrating to get beaten to the punch, but it's a lot better than getting outbid by some software program in the last 20 seconds of an auction at ebay!You can always post a wa... | |
| Njoe Tjoeb 4000 Upsampler I appreciate the input and advice. I'm just astounded that that something could require break in times on the order of 200-500 hours! Doc, what is a FryKleaner? Thanks. | |
