What time do you wear?
I don't wear a wrist watch. But MOVADO museum(spelling?) watches are so simple, elegant and sophisticated that I bought His and pair. My wife enjoys hers, mine is in the box..in a museum. Come to think of it I could almost buy PS300 power plant fo... 
More power "better"
YES!! If you choose Classe, go for the higher end models -CA 400 OR CA401 OR even the new monoblocks 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
Yes, I do experience the sound quality fluctuations a lot too. Like some posts pointed out due to the iffy power, particulary in LA area in the late evenings. I also buy the hearing thresold case on some days theory.( I have experienced it-sitting... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Kthomas, I agree. Pecentage I quoted is far too much. 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Et's opinion has lot more truth in it. People (haves or have nots) have not listened to what could be possible with great system. If they listened to a very well set-up system,at least half of non-audiophiles will convert. Take me as another examp... 
The Beatles
The beatles were good pop music for their time.I was listening and enjoying their music. IT IS OVER. GET OVER IT. There is lot more out there right now. Not just rock-pop and jazz. If you listen carefully hip-hop and electronic has lot more to it ... 
Horrific Confession and Question
I wonder if tables were turned around and if thsi post would now be responded by the non-audiophiles(Bose buyers) who would they bash? for example Krell or us audiophiles? I bet they would consider outright stupid to buy 23K monoblocks or 15K spea... 
Best Car Stereo
I enjoy my car stereo a great deal and have spent considerable amount of money over 4 years( appx $9000 plus).A well set-up sytem consisting of 'high-end' components can deliver really great(but never close to the home rig in terms of sound stage ... 
Horrific Confession and Question
Funny Constantine, I experience a similar feeling every time I go to Tower records Classical section. I am overcome by the lush music and become weak in the knees(Really!). All through the piped music thru ceiling mounted Boses. Similar experience... 
Hottest Wife or World's Best System??
3chihuahuas said it all. GS IS THE WAY TO GO. Hottest wife can become not-so-hot pretty soon. Then you are stuck. Replacement can be very expensive proposition.A flip side of the thread can be SEX or GREAT SYSTEM. Now you have a debate! 
Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
Mine is Designer clothes and assessories- Suits, Knits, Trousers, Jackets (leather), ties, sunglasses, bags, shoes etc. All really top names. Georgio Armani is my favourite. I lean towards the Emporio Armani line because it has more casual and mod... 
Patricia Barber and Stereophile
All of the Patricia Bs CDs are mixed this way IMO. Even the last one-the Companion? Does does sound this way, and it was the ROTM! I can't fault the music or the musicality of the discs. MaplesShade CDs are the close to perfect sound (close to liv... 
High Fidelity Sex Objects
My Big Young and teenage (almost eighteen-in speaker years) Dunlavy -SCV's, Each weighing 300 + lbs, slim, tall and deep, looking very sexy and performing wild, sexy, passionate and intense ORAL on me( I mean my ears). On my Sweet Spot. Oooh Baby!!! 
the most simplistic stereo you have had
Marklivia, Your system 'sounds' great but not the most simplistic(meaning relatively compact). I would like to build system around B&W 302'S, CARY300LXI,CARY 301. Book shelf speaker size and integrated amp does it. 
Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak?
Go easy on Khrys. Sense of houmor is refreshing in this obsessive forum surfing......
