Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
It would be pointless to tell a ‘civilian’ what I paid, they’d never understand and I wouldn’t want to explain it. It is unnecessary to tell an audiophile because they already know, all of the information about your components is readily availabl...

Nowadays there are no more surprises....today, you can audition the entire contents of an album before buying it. Prior to the internet, there was no way to audition an entire album. For those of us that bought a lot of music from the 70’s thru th... 
When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.
