I've spent the past 5 years interacting with various "unite" groups -- including my own.  Identifying, acknowledging and celebrating our common links and connections (humanity) is a major segment of our work.  Encouraging unapologetic, firebreathi... 
which is a better speaker
It's been said that "you can't blame a compass for pointing north".  And, when you make an inquiry to a group of audiophiles you can expect "audiophile" responses from "audiophiles".  If the question were posed on a forum for oral surgeons: "What ... 
How important is spending time with your gear?
The OP's opening statement, which includes "with no audible downside" is the fundamental basis of this discussion. If we're looking for "right" and "wrong" answers here, I think we might be on the gas just a little too early exiting the turn. Mi...
