| The weirdness of it all @celtic66 @audphile1 Good call on the Furutech outlet. I predict even more "weirdness" in your system. @recklesskelly @ghdprentice One of the greatest pleasures of this hobby is the ability to audition equipment that is exponentially more ex... | |

| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? My first "new" speaker purchase was from a department store. They had a little "sound room" in the back, and there set a pair of Scott speakers with 15" woofers. Someone thought it would be entertaining to punch their fist through one of the woo... | |

| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? Quck story: We have a (very) extended family member who happens to be a centi-millionaire. I can’t remember whether he just bought, or sold, an asset for $90M. This amount of money was a staggering to me. Sorry for the confusion. He just turned ... | |
