steve p , you are so right , to the audiophile or should i say people who
consider audiophiles it is all about the equipment, when i first got into
audio i had a 18 wpc onkyo but i enjoyed the music just the same, that been
about 26 years ago, over the years after i beginning dealing and selling
audio i found more people didnt care about the music it was more the
equipment, i had buyers who paid $1000 to run their rca interconnects thru
sand , also people who spend $1000 on a pair of interconnects,i actually
have quit dealing in ultra high-end audio as the people i had to deal with
were to put it mildy -weird , yes i can hear the difference in speakers and
amps etc but if this takes away the enjoyment of listening to music , it is
not worth it, before mcintosh there was music , so i say enjoy the music
forget the source-although a nasty source can ruin a good tune!!!!!
