Interestingly, my actual "sighted bias" was that I thought the Bose
looked super cool (with the first L.E.D. display used on an amp)and
seemed the most impressive in size and construction, so hence my
chagrin at it's audio quality. Ah, well, forgive me for my nostalgia
if I bored everybody.

No, not at all, you provided some audio content :-)


I very much agree. A very welcome change from the character assassination
and/or political posturing that has taken over RAO. (No doubt this statement
will generate a personal attack from the usual flamers).

I would surmise that there are plenty of political NGs that one can go to in
order to argue about politics and smear Democrats or Republicans withouit
monopolizing the bandwidth here.

As a psychologist, I find it interesting that, IMHO, the same few people that
are most strident in smearing Democrats and makin all kinds of character
assassination-type comments about them........are the same people that tend to
do the same when attacking other RAO posters with whom they disagree. Perhaps
they've displaced some of their aggression from insulting the others here to
just insulting Democrats?

It sort of reminds me of a summer job I had while in graduate school. I worked
in a mental health clinic that treated families and childrens. I quickly
noticed that all the regular staff seemed to bitch about th coffee on a daily
basis. So one day, I asked the clinic director if he had a theory why this
took place. He said, "Sure, they all hate each others' guts but rather than
poison the work environment, they just displace all their anger on to the
coffee pot".





My wife's just nuts about good reproduction of music.
You should have heard her when I replaced my tube amp with a hybrid
one.........but now she prefers the sound of that one.
This has something to do with the nature of my speakers (Magnpans),
the tube amp is able to drive them but not to realistic sound levels.
Oh well, at least I'm able to roll my own audio stuff, so the cost and
appearance are under control :-)

About the WAF: our interior is based upon good reproduction of music,
my wife wouldn't have it any other way!
