Re: You are an exceptional man.

My point was not the amount I spent as I mentioned many times, the point was that I was willing to spend that and that I was not alone. So many complain that there is no appreciation for music, that the younger generations somehow lack this enlightened appreciation for music that only the elders of this hobby retain. Since I grew up through what may well be the worst time in musical history (the 80's) and survived to enjoy a broad range of music and that I notice I'm not alone if only by communicating with a plethora of folks 30 and under who are enthusiastic about music, about discovering new genres and moreover that listening to music though important can be brought to a whole new level through quality gear is a sign that there is hope for the future of this hobby and those believing there isn't are ignorant or blind.

Too often I read how the kids are only interested in their crap mp3s and their crap iPods and their crap ibuds. Though this is true quite often, this is also true for many adults who have pushed serious listening to the realm of background filtering out chit chat, noise etc. However, if kids, who seem to engross themselves in music are willing to branch out and discover new genres so that they are no longer under the thumb of the RIAA and the top 40 hash, then there is also hope that in learning about new genres they might appreciate gear that can fully reproduce a wonderful experience. I noted that an iPod with some excellent headphones is quite a step up from the stock ear phones and that if one is so inclined to go even this one small step, they may well be interested in building a full stereo at some point. Not once did I claim that to enjoy music or this hobby one had spend enormous amounts of money.

What you have ignorantly or purposely put forward is the Motive Fallacy something neither I will fall victim to nor with any astute reader.
