''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum

Well pindac, You don't need to be modest reg. your intellectual

capabilities. I deed need to search for the meaning of your

expression ''merryment'' because there was no such word in my

Dutch English vocabulary . But on internet was even its social

function explained as humour. You are the first who grasped 

my intention to be , say, amusing. People obviously consider

philosophy and logic as ''serous business. But this is not the case

as an French mathematician stated about logical explanation 

of mathematics:  ''this logical approach is certainly not infertile 

it produces paradoxes''. 

Thanks for your understanding .

By definition, basic cost benefit analysis is a process of examining a variety of combinations and scenarios where there are costs and associated benefits. This can be accounting.  The total benefits outweigh the total costs.

However - What is the extra benefit (utility) you obtain from spending an extra amount of money given a menu of combinations?

This is economics and the process becomes rather more nuanced, but we usually all become so good at it that it becomes intuitive.

Note - I say extra. Should it be positive amount, it is a trade that you may decide upon. Because audiophiles are decisive folk. 

It may be a negative number, like when you have just bought a wonderful CD collection and you then you buy anything by Adele.  I digress.

Budget only becomes meaningful when it is a constraint and the possible combinations are thereby limited.

@dover was not incorrect.

noske, this is the worst PR story i have ever seen. In Dutch

jurisprudence was an case about advertisement with a curious

judgment : ''the bigger the lie the smaller the lie''. That is

if even  the kids can ''grasp'' the lie it should not count as lie.

Tell a lie as well pretending is an art.  The art to compose a lie which

looks like truth. This imply that lie which are obvious make no sense.

There are however ''honest kind''. As , for example, from this

Danish philosopher who stated: ''I never lie because I don't need

to remember them''.

In the other thread about ''sound of wire'' dover wrote an poem 

about Denon 103 D and ruined this way also the ''contribution'' of

noske as well the relevance of discrimination between retips, rebuild

as well ''refreshment'' of carts.
