Apples and oranges

First sentence good. The rest disposable.

Kinder Crisp and Ukrainian Blood Oranges.

In a perfect world we would be talking about the same thing, music! Yet we persist in talking about audio. I guess that is what internet audiophiles do. Most of my close friends love music and could care less about 'audio' let alone talking about it. For myself, when called upon to comment on my stuff, I usually demur to any discussion about equipment and refocus on music.

So I agree re apples v oranges, except when that term is applied to audio I always smell some aggrandizement coming, usually at someone else's expense. 

Newbee, very well stated!
