RE: Your tirade has what, exactly to do with the OP?...

My tirade meant to indicate that
a) a lot of people buying "audiophile" equipment or expensive equipment in general does not give a squat about audiophilia and audiophiles and especially do not give a damn what they think . They buy it because they can afford it and it usually look nicer than the mainstream black box. The add captures it perfectly and makes a perfect sense.
b) the sonic effect of those accidental installations easily rivals "carefully " matched systems proudly displayed and listed with all the details to the type of connector used... Why bother then ?
That's the reason I don't post the details of my system. Again ,why bother if the junk doesn't sound that much better than my fiance's Pioneer boombox and sometimes worse costing 100 times more?
I read the comments about the effect of all those carefully crafted systems and it's usually "almost perfect". I go then to a proud owner and listen and it's just a usual shit which should be available in Walmart for $200 and not $25k based on the final result.
I buy now like the girl on the picture. It has to look cool, a lot of gold and preferably a black acrylic with subtle lines. I then open the window , go on the porch , pour myself a glass of liquor and listen to "the system" watching the cars go by. It allows me to enjoy the music actually, especially that my hearing went down the drain and I don't visit anybody anymore and do not plan to do so.
Happy listening gents! W
