| Those who seek to deny access to information I don’t see where the forums are stopping anyone from being serious audiophiles. It’s actually much easier to get really good sound these days than ever. So in that sense more successful audiophiles than ever. Times change. Gotta get with the time... | |

| Audio nonsense People like to play with Marvelous Toys. They go zip when they move and bop when they stop and whirr when they sit still. I’ll never know just what some are and I guess I never will. | |
