retroguy: i guess they didn't require the mastery of english grammar at uiuc (united institute of unctuous cobblers?). anyway, what's your point? you can hear differences others can't because you had a part-time job at a "real highend" store while attending trade school? noone has a right to criticize gear they haven't owned? (that'd be real smart, eh.) give us a break. how is it the the opinions of those who post here, or others likem', is "driving the price of good equipment sky high"? sorry, but your theory makes neither economic or logical sense. care to explicate "retroguy's axiom of audio philosophy"?
