Hey, don't disregard the valor of the attempt! Sometimes that's as important as the result.
Well almost, anyway. I could have opted for a Plinius SA-Reference over the SB-301, but I couldn't justify spending almost twice as much for a small incremental improvement in performance. Even if the Salon 2s are proving that they deserve it...
OK, that's enough of that, per my bank account.
