In the 90s I brought my girlfrined with me to pick up my new Pass Aleph 3. She thought ti was a bit crazy to be spending so much. While we were waiting, the salesman had us sit in a room with Pass Aleph Pre & Power, Audio Physic Virgo sepakers, can't remember the source. She said "Wow, why doesn't your stereo sound like this?" I explained we were listening to over $20,000 worth of stuff, and she said I should "Just buy it." The salesman said I should marry her. He was probably right.
