don't poo-poo the equipment - the equipment is not the point! It's the entertainment value - that I first heard when I was 12 years old at a neighbor's house - a group of kids 16 and under, a Dad (with terminal cancer - we didn't know that then) operating the system, wiping the record, carefully setting the need in the entry groove, raising the volume, and sound appearing from the loudspeakers with a full and honest to the instruments sound. Equally important, this family (The Gemmills) embraced music, owned & played multiple instruments. French Horn, Coronet & baritone, Strings (Cello-to Violin), piano and organ, flute and I'm sure many others. As I was 2 years younger than their youngest - and that I was invited into this environment (not just a kid), left a lifelong impression and allowed music to be an important part of my life.
As Audio Reproduction Enthusiasts we should care less about whether they use Walmart cables and 40 year old loudspeakers. It is the "art" of reproduction we should embrace. As with any form of art, it takes on many shapes, forms, and colors.
