This thread is becoming more and more similar to threads in Audiogon and other look like sites. But I agree with below comments Anyway my maxim is: beware of hifi salesmen (or self-appointed 'experts' of any sort) who pretend (or perhaps even believe) they know it all - they are talking bollocks and such behavior immediately casts suspicion on anything at all that they have to say.


I find it more useful to avoid some internet people instead of trying to inform them. There is nothing in this thread that is stimulating, but no chance for education either. You are certainly right that this has more to do with Audiogon than the GoodSoundClub.
Instead of talking about hardware, what actually moves us in specific recordings would be more evidence than what I find in most of the posts here.
In any case, the philosophy at the beginning of this thread had some promise. Expectedly, it turned hardware-centric. Oh well, this is the internet. Back to Alpine Symphony, Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Once the glaciers are gone, future generations will not even know what Strauss meant...
