Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon?

spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?

Buchardt A500, KEF LS50 Wireless, etc. What are your top 3 downsides?

A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About
In this universe, "honest physics" is an oxymoron. 
Opinion: Half of the reason to listen to choral works is the acoustics in the recording
Can we agree that at least most liturgical choral music was written with some anticipation of the acoustic in which it would be performed.  I have to say that something like the Tallis Scholars' recording of the Allegri Miserere would be a little ...
