| Many of us want to Changegrade instead of Upgrading When you get your system to make music that without doubt satisfies you, you can changegrade. Until then you have to upgrade. | |

| Recent MOFI debacle Companies that serve the audiophile community test their recordings and equipment with devices that produce specs beyond what audiophiles should be able to perceive. However, if recordings contain frequencies beyond the limit of human hearing, re... | |
