Why thank you! If I had any sense I'd quit while I'm ahead! But...

Home audio is indeed a noble pursuit, trust me on this as I'm clearly older and wiser. Some day you will thank me. As for folks thinking we're crazy, we WOULD be crazy to care what they think. I don't dare quote R. Feynman as that would break commandment 12 but I have always been pleased that he agreed with me.

From the tenor of your posts I sense that you that feel that home audio is somehow unworthy technically and pragmatically compared with say rocketry and communications. Having worked in those areas, I hold the opposite view. I'd say that home audio is more difficult because it's interfaces are so poorly defined and the minimum performance levels are vague. And I know this may sound strange, but beyond the engineering aspect, there is the social one and rockets are usually a force for bad, while home stereos usually work for good. At least when I read Stereophile there isn't an ad asking me "How's your kill ratio?". Burrrr....
