Questions that Never Die


I'm trying to come up with a list of Questions that Never Die. Here's my list:

Is vinyl or digital better?
Should I get tubes or solid state?
Integrated or separates?
Are floor standers always better than bookshelves?
How much is too much to spend for speakers?
Are all cables the same?
Why won't kids listen to lossless formats?
Is X snake oil?

Got any to add?

Enjoyable for the time being.
I was feeling a little mannic... I did that while holding my breath too..

I'll do it myself... :-)

At least we can put that one to bed. And move on to the mother of all questions that will never die, the Zombie that escaped from George Romero's vault because he forgot the head coffin:

@spatialking  Group effort.

Kudos to @oldhvymec for the MOST rhetorical answer, EVER:

"DAC direct to Amp or Preamp still required?"

Truths

The 5th Beatle, I still don't know his name.

Questions

How is Keith Richards, still alive?
DEVO?

Why did Iggy POP take a roll in Deep Space Nine (star trek) as a bad guy, he is a good guy. :-)

Why did they EVER paint anything the color "champagne"
Who was the wise guy that decided to remove "Tone Controls"
Why do they make remotes you can't read, day or night?
Why do remotes have 30 extra buttons, and you know there is no way to assign them all, even, if you really, really try..NO WAY..
Why do remotes only have an off/on?
Why is my stereo gear aging WAY slower than me, (not a wrinkle in them)
Why do they call "Valves", "Tubes"? They really don't look like a tube, they ACT like a valve, and look like a Bulb.
Which should be longer, the Speaker IC or the source IC or wireless?
Why is some stuff so expensive?
Why is some stuff so cheap?
Why would you become a "Head Banger"? It hurts! Lousy pay...
