Hayes,
I will go look/read your roger-russell.com link. Then I MAY come back for
more banter.
This topic is not a 1-0 issue ATM. It is very much your opinion/other opinion.
U like Roger; and have run with HIS opinion. Fine.
Give us some time to get up to speed B4 you grace us with your vented spleen.
Computers you can have. Audio I may wish to discuss.
Best,
Duncan

And for shits and giggles, I present to you all the most profoundly stupid
audiophile snake oil ever offered for sale: Pebbles. Bags of pebbles to be
exact. I think a bag of crack rock would be more beneficial to modifying
the perceived sound passing through your ears, especially after smoking a
bit of the bag's contents -> http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina31.htm
