Add some magic thinking to that coincidence and causations gets confused . Hence throwing virgins into volcanoes to please the weather goods kind of reasoning appears . The childs may not starve due to nordost cables but college funds and family vacations and in general the quality of life for the rest of the (still remaining ) familly will suffer due to funds wasted on emperors new clothes (aka nothing ) . Read this blog on stereophile http://www.stereophile.com/content/death-audiophile It actually has the opposite effect to what the authors intended it basically describes a wasted life . It's totally horrifying :( -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
