Hi Elizabeth. You described it perfectly....searching for the "HOLY GRAIL" is so much of an obsession with all of us music enthusiests and collectors. Does not make any sense really, but why then do we buy $2000 power cords, $70 fuses, and $20,000 CD players?? We are a nutty, obsessed bunch is all I can say, and that's part of the fun. Why else would we spend so much time, energy, not to mention money in pursuit of that PERFECT SOUND....even though we already own $200,000 systems? Because we believe that squeezing another 1/10th of a percentage point of performance is worth the cost of a body part...or our first born. Ha Ha Ha!
By the way, which release of "The Wall" is the best sounding anyhow? I own 3 different ones myself. Be interesting to hear what others think is the superior version.
