duh! said Mikey, while noshing on a plateful of cockroaches.

Only a moron needs a "test" to show him how to "save several hundred
dollars".

Judging by the price of some high end gear there are lots of morons involved
in high end audio.

Oh greatly stupid one, you're engaging in a fallacy that has been explained
to you many times before. Suffice it to say, for the sake of repetition,
that "several hundred dollars" is not a factor for people who buy
high-priced equipment. As a point of reference, they also buy $5000 skis,
$80,000 cars, and $200,000 pieces of jewelry, among other items.

If a Normal wants to "save money", he buys the less expensive option.

And meanwhile they are convinced that they aren't getting the same sound as
from themore expenisve stuff, which is probably wrong.

How did you banish reality so thoroughly from that hermetic dimension you
inhabit? Inquiring minds want to know how you came to know what others are
"convinced" of without them telling you.

God, you are stupid. Isn't it time you took some remedial action to
alleviate your crushing idiocy?

How many times have you seen "Forrest Gump"? Do you still tear up when
Hanks drawls about the box of chocolates?
