Okey guys lets end this. Many a times we have traveled down this path (me included). It won't be resolved as with cables, tubes and power amps. Its up to every individual to justify costs and your plain ole ears to make the decision. Lets keep it civil. We are all friendly and lets keep it that way.
We are here for knowledge be it bias or not.
