"What do you all cut meat with??Do you want to buy safe knifes?"I don't buy stereo gear to cut meat."My KRS200s with dozens of blade-like fins all around are potentially lethal, plus they weigh 200lb each."So you agree with me that there is a prob...

What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
