Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?
"Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?"Yes, at least as far as this thread is concerned. 
160 watts "stasis"?
May I humbly suggest you check the archives. 
What were your own blind cable test results?

HiFi lacking social recognition?
I can't help but wonder, if MP3/Ipod and Home Theatre (or the perception of what "home theatre" really is, after all anybody can buy a HTinabox to lay claim to membership) has marginalized HiFi as some kind of obsolete past time pursued by people ...

Sedond, wow! That's some list. I'm truly impressed.

Interconnect - Does short length hinder sound?
For the most part I agree with all the posts above. One could argue that greater lengths of interconnects might allow for more seperation between components, which might allow for greater heat and vibration dissapation as well as less opportunity ...
