Sure, Brian; just like the amps up to $12,000 blew away the $220 Pioneer receiver in the classic Stereo Review blind listening tests? Truth in audio is the objective if we hope to overcome the exaggerations and/or outright lies that pollute our hobby.

If it were so hot it made your vision blurry,
would you eat it in a hurry?

What if it were served to you by a furry?
Would it really make you worry
or even cause you to scurry?

I didn't say anything about price or suggest that a more expensive amp sounds better than a less expensive amp. Personally, I don't think of myself as a polluter or at least not as a significant polluter. I am a hobbyist, I don't think folks who know me consider me a liar.

It's easier to prepare a great Thai curry than a great Indian curry. Everyone loved the Yellow chicken curry.

Did you mix the spices into a slurry?

I'll take your Thai yellow curry please. I am not as much as a fan of Indian curry. I love the spice and clean flavours of Thai.

All, just wanted to ay thanks for this 'spirited' discussion smile
I didn't mean to spark any kind of debate with the original post, I was just musing out loud (or on the keyboard as it were), but I am enjoying the exchange nonetheless.
I also like Thai curry - green is my favourite, though the yellow or red will do too!
