I though I'd get sick of PB&J quick, but it turns out I got sick of the smoked turkey sandwiches faster.

Just don't try to "spice up" a dull sandwich with any guy-ish tricks.

I used to deliver drywall... know what kind of heartburn you get carrying 250lb bundles of 12s-5/8 fireguard up a 3 floor walkup in +35C weather with a gut full of warm 7-11 fountain Coke and salami sandwiches with barbeque sauce on them?

peter- clogged, im sure.. i havent been to the doc in a while, i reckon its gettin to be about that time again. i do eat rather healthy(lots of fish & chicken, no frying, whole grain, skim-milk, etc), its just the sweets, they kill me. not literally i hope!! i been trying to eat the sugar-free puddings, like the ones you put in your kids lunches, as a healthier alternative when the 'sweet bug' bites.

bren- i feel your pain man.. i did sprinkler installs when i was in college for xtra money, and that hard labor mixed with a spicy lunch and the texas heat.. just stick a fork in me, cause i was DONE!!

Bren, that's almost as bad as the poor college kid special goulash I used to make. Take 1 can chili, 1 can garbanzo beans, 1 can stewed tomatos, 1 can corn, dump them all in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes. Add ketchup/barbecue sauce/mustard to taste. Mmmmm Mmmmm good.

Peter, have you ever seen Blazing Saddles? The scene where the 'bad guys' are all sitting around the campfire....

I swear, that stuff was the most foul thing I've ever seen anyone eat on a regular basis. Did you actually choose the ingredients that carefully? I always got the impression you just threw whatever cans were in the cupboard in a pot and then covered them with random spices.

I though pickled herring snacks (in either wine sauce or sour cream sauce) was the most foul thing I ever ate, according to you.

Forgot about those.

I see, like the stickleback fish, when confronted with argument, folks who think they're scientists talk about food. That's OK.

Here's my catechism on the subject.

I believe people and pongids are descended from a common ancestor. I believe people and fish are descended from a common ancestor.

I think Einstein glimpsed part of the structural essence of it all, but that his vision will be subsumed into a greater more coherent theory of everything.

I believe that the price of equipment bears no necessary relationship to that piece's contribution to the sound we listen to. There's crappy expensive equipment and wonderful inexpensive equipment. By way of illustration, Axiom speakers provide incredible music reproduction ability at a very modest price. The Antique Sound Labs MG S1 15DT 5 watt per channel SET integrated amp is a steal at $700. A used Onkyo M-504 amp is a steal at $300. Reference 3a De Capo mm speakers are a steal at $2,500 a pair (book shelf size).

I don't believe the method of testing for single frequencies is an adequate methodology.

Not all science is good science. Not everything held out as "scientific" has anything to do with science. The article Chess mewled over is not science, it's some guy whose opinions Chess agrees with.

I would appreciate it if you would refrain from insulting me.

I respect your statement about price not being necessarily relevant to sound quality.

Please cite a scientific article that supports your viewpoint and doesn't come from an audio magazine.

Oh, and if you state that you can't do this, because science cannot adequately explain complex waveforms, can you explain how the manufacturers of such quality goods as you cite manage to keep doing it? Is it luck?
