Need a very neutral interconnect-
I found the most neutral for my kit was from Wywires. These beat out Kimber, Cardas, Morrow, Harmonic Tech, and a few more makers whose cables were less than $1,000/meter. Most clear, neutral, and true. 
How would you feel
I'd be p.o.ed for sure, but not at the selling company. I'd realize that it's nothing personal, just business. They need to do whatever they need to do to stay in business. I'd review WHY I bought that piece and change my strategy for the next tim... 
Album of the year
Tie for me: The Deep Dark Woods "Jubilee" and How to Destroy Angels "Welcome to Oblivion". 
How does one "Get lost in the music"?
To get fully engaged for more than just one or two tracks, regardless of the music, I seem to require a system able to convey the emotion put forth by the players and reproduce that with clarity, texture, drive, and proper tonality. (I've heard ve...

Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen
For oud, pick up some Anouar Brahim on ECM. I very much enjoy his "Le pas du chat noir" release. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Well over 7 years ago I answered this post and I'm still rockin' the '03 Ford F-250 V10 pickup. (Although I listed the wrong model year back then, as it was, and still is, an '03, not '93. Oy!) 
Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug?
I’ve had a music bug since the age of 10, but it took 40 more years after that to catch the audio bug.I’d not been exposed to any hi-fi gear in my life so never knew what I was missing. That is, until in 2005 when my low/mid-fi CD player died so b... 
Your Favorite Cover Songs?
+1 on the Beatles Tostados, good call. I really like all of their covers on their first four albums. Great selections and very well performed. Just spun the monos last night - terrific stuff. 
LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS
77 - wish i had a dollar for every time i've heard that. What a dumbass reply! Proves the manager is deaf as well.
