When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Yes, actually it's been more than 15 posts. I want to point out Oneobgyn's post on Audiogon about his system. I couldn't get it here, so maybe it requires looking up. I'm suprised by the cost of his Wilson X-2's, which are over $100,000. Anyhow, I liken Ori's X-2's to Koetsu cartridges, in that they convey something about music that escapes most components. I want to introduce another subject here. I know that Audiogon is about high-end, but I'm wondering if there is anything that can be done about car stereo's cd players. This is mainly where I hear the hardness that I speak of. Would something like Mapleshade's reveal and another thing, plus iconoclast do something to alleviate that?

Tvad, I want to apologize to you. I believe my last post short-shifted you. You have very interesting things to say. It's just, with me, sometimes, it triggers an inappropriate response. I would guess that you are a Scorpio, but I've lately struck-out in that area. I actually had retired Oritek X-1's, in favor or Elf Audio's ccc interconnects, and told Ori about that. Yes, I consider him a friend. He emailed me and said if you want your PRAT, here it is. He meant the X-2's. Yes, I'm a shrill for the masses that want, or need, music in the home. If you look at my moniker on Audio Circles, you would understand where I'm coming from. I'm not saying that it is superior, since I haven't heard the best. I hope to hear close to the best soon. I just have an obligation to say the truth, in terms of what's affordable to the average guy. I stand by what I said.

The thing is, Wc65mustang, is that there have been so many advances in cable-just in the last 4-5 years, that I can assure you that the Oritek X-2 will outperform almost all of the top-ten interconnects of all time

Just over a week ago, you were touting the X-2 as one of the top ten IC's of all time, and now you claim not to have heard the best. Furthermore, today's post would have us believe that you have not even heard the X-2's at all:

Yes, I consider him a friend. He emailed me and said if you want your PRAT, here it is. He meant the X-2's.

Finally, this thread in which you disparage digital playback turns out to be primarily due to the sound of car stereos? And CD players from 1988 and earlier? As I said before, this discussion is over. You make-a no sense, and the horoscope comment is only deepening my confusion.
