Mb9061, take a walk over to the Bottlehead forum on Audioasylum and search for posts with the word "gin" in them.

Samhar, whenever people compare any product or service to something obtainable at Costco or Walmart, the best way to deal with it is just agree with them. Simply by saying that they have demonstrated their argument is irrefutable. Eventually, when all health care in the U.S. comes from the part-timer behind the glass wall at RiteAid, all banking comes from ATMs, and huge numbers of people never venture out because they live off the 'net and 'last-mile' delivery services, people will wake up and wonder what happened.
