The amount of money that *I* spend means a LOT to me Arn.

Nahh, you're like a sailor on leave.

The amount of money that *others* spend means almost
NOTHING to me.

Can't tell that from what you post.

then you wouldn't get so bent out of shape when someone
points out that equal or better sound quality can be obtained for a
lot less money.

Arn old chum I recently auditioned a $1000 transparent
power conditioner thingy (a used one at that) and liked
what I heard. I also auditioned a $20 emi filter bought
from the radioshack equivalent of these parts of the
woods "clas ohlson":

The "Nätavstörningsfilter" in that page ..

Which had a much more profound, background silencing,
effect on my system. So I bought it and am using it and I
am not "bent out of shape". It actually performed much
better then the mysterious and better looking transparent
block and I was actually quite happy about it that I
saved some $1000 as opposed to getting "bent out of
shape".

Proves nothing.

OTOH, yes, it *is* true that generally one does not get
high performance cheap. Actually, as a general rule of
thumb, one is never rich enough to buy cheap.
