Sully, you should be aware that these items have been shown to possess no differences which are audible to humans. Probably even more conclusive is the test in which bats were unable to distinguish between Kimber, Monster, Nordost and standard 16 gauge lampcord bought for $0.15 a foot.
As a warning I'll describe a case I prosecuted. The defendant started out in a way many would(mistakenly)view as being innocent enough by replacing his speaker wire with cable which cost him 100 times as much. Soon however he was buying progressively more expensive cables in a hopeless quest for greater purity of sound. Unsatisfied by this, he bought DACs in huge quantities to test and possibly achieve more accurate conversion. Then it escalated to all types of separates with multi-thousand dollar price tags and every tweak product available from the audio charlatans who infest the land. He was soon unable to provide his wife and children with food and other essentials; the support of his habit came first. Then on that fateful day he took his gun, put on a skimask and went into the bank. You know the rest. He's now in his cell at the penitentiary listening to a Bose Wave Radio. Take heed.

Yes, Mike. That was part of the punishment I requested that the court impose as part of the plea bargain. At first the judge was puzzled because he'd heard that Bose was "The Most Respected Name in Sound".

Is it at least plugged into a line conditioner? Lord knows the power in jails is dirty.

Peter, that dog photo is really killing me.
It really is.
I can't stop laughing at it now.

That new picture is growing on me. I still like the other one better though. Your dog always looks like he thinks you're an idiot.

That's what's so great about dogs: they never let you take yourself too seriously.
