Tell your friend to get his best single malt, couple of tumblers and join the dance. The game he's playin' he'll lose anyway.

It must be handmade and platinum plated hammers and screwdrivers were used by 100 years old blind virgins to create this marvel. It is the only explanation.

That's obviously to block lateral stray cosmic particles, without filtering light. Lateral cosmic particles can change the spin of the stylus molecules and introduce analog jitter. Mine are aluminum foil and they work!

I purchased one. And photons bounce off so well from it.

I think people make the choices they do with the best of their knowledge and with what is available to them. Not sure all of them do this to improve their listening experience, but I hope many do. Personally, I built a lot of my stuff myself and decided not to look around to compare so i can...

Thank you. I clearly did not provide a good example regarding my friend's perspective on music. I must add that I envy your experience with this Tuvan throat singer!

I totally agree it is a hobby. Based on the OP, I think a lot is at stake here, considering market influences that are not helping customers and amateurs and hobbyists to make potentially optimal choices in acquiring the instruments to enjoy music. I mean, I made a choice to subscribe to this...

I understand. But the argument you use comparing Bible and facts is clearly Western-based. I would suggest even the type of facts chosen will differ at some points. What I was referring to cultural references is based on a personnal experience. I used to live in the Arctic, and a friend of...

Or rationalize subjective preference.

I purchased the SU-8, paired with that THX thingy and HD6XX and I love what I hear, whether the source is a CD player (Nakamichi MB-10), the Blu-Ray player or else. I haven't tried the Beyerdynamics Tesla yet, but I should in the next few days. I was concerned that DAC (which is an "upgrade"...

Interesting. I bought mine from amazon.ca, and it was delivered from UK with a European power cord, which is fitted with a 13A fuse.

I think this is all about mix'n'match. I used to have recommended systems such as Tannoy's Mercury MkI with a Toshiba amp, Rotel amp and Dynaudio 2-ways, Quad 77 and Totem model one signature and none satisfied me enough. I went the DIY route and built Fostex Full Range (based on 206 ES-R) at 98...

Subjective opinions cannot be verified. Also, as they cannot be falsifiable, they cannot be tested.
