stereo for someone special
well I've since got her a bluray disc player instead and she loves it in combination with the flatscreen my dad got her. One splurge was the snakeskin covered Sony hdmi cable that I couldn't resist to connect up with. I did after all get new Ninte...

How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Let your ears decide, I figure by the time it's all over I'll have at least 20K in electronics feeding my Thiel CS2.4's. They really are that good of a speaker! Or at least I think so 
Is It Worth $28 Million?
He is correct about records sounding 100 times better than cd. 
Question regarding reputation of SOTA tables
I've been highly impressed with the sapphire tt I bought about a yr ago. Equally impressive is the SME arm and Dynavector cart I use in conjunction. Even though you didnt mean no harm please dont ever use the word poor with sota in the same senten...
