Must say I'm surprised that that no one has mentioned anything involving "Robert Harley."
His year-end "recommended components" blogs/articles take pretension to another level.
For example, I once read a review where he recommended a $14K Power Cable. That he would give editorial coverage to such a product, let alone laud it, requires a certain level of pretension, potentially approaching insanity, but then again what do I know? I suppose if you can afford the $150K Statement turntable, then the $14K power cable wouldn't offend you.
Granted, if someone handed me $150K, I'd first pay off my student loans, and with the left over money I'd almost have enough for a bag of M&Ms...
