| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @vinny55 : You’ve kind of got all tangled up in my comments and seem to have misunderstood them all.

| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @vinny55 , so you spent about $4k on a system and you like it.

| Your last concert was to see who and when? Saw JD McPherson Saturday night. The Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC is a dive....which was perfect. Small concert hall. Maybe 300 people and packed pretty tight. There was a taqueria and a large outdoor patio area where you could go if you wanted to.... | |

| Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit? I'm intrigued by the idea. Have done a bit of research.And agree with you, it shouldn't really be about saving money because the good kits are damn expensive.I'm a DIY sort of guy and would like to do this one day. I'm probably more interested in ... | |
