The Impossible Has Happened
and for the subject, why would any professional reviewer say anything bad about an item the manufacturer lent them? I have read car reviews for three decades now. The way to find out the truth about the car is not when it comes out and gets 5 star... 
The Impossible Has Happened
what pisses me off is the insensitivity of these reviews. parttimeaudiophile called an 8K component vs a 12K component affordable the other day. Car reviews are way more mindful of this cost, they don't ever call a 100K car (the equivalent of an ...

"make a rational logical point" I seriously read your comment twice and I found 0 in it logic just wild, looney ranting. But I am a liberal so I probably lack the context.   
Tough amp decision
@ghdprentice  I guess integrated amps are cheaper, than an amp and a preamp (and separate phono stage) so I wonder what the best value is for x, for the sake of argument ~$1500, total. Seems that it will only buy the lowest end of the separates w... 
Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
@clearthinker no worries. He was just an example, maybe a divisive one. Besides, talking about politics never led to anything valuable on this forum.
