Please if you take this hobby seriously then why on earth do you so willingly and without question take all the nonsense being spewed from the various high end audio magazines, web sites and marketing departments as high holy truths? The print publishing world is slowly dying and will do just about anything to stay alive and yet you still believe that these clowns are telling the truth. Salesmanship and marketing are all about making people believe that your product is better than the other guys but yet you still believe these clowns are telling the truth. And each of the above cases you still believe their lies even when what they are saying runs directly counter to all known scientific facts and truths. Add to this the ever present numbers game being played in high end audio. MP3 and redbook CD are BAD because their numbers don't compare with those of high resolution audio but analog, as in the turntables you so love, which has numbers (measurements) which are way worse in every possible way than even those of redbook CD is considered to be the holy grail of audio. And I haven't even mentioned vacuum tubes. You can't have it both ways unless, of course, you're being dishonest about one or the other or both.
