    Yes, I took a lot of cognitive behavior courses in college.. its funny how our brains and senses can override logic. I also have a marketing degree and marketers play upon every cognitive behavior imaginable and the human ego.

    I..lol..into this to a certain degree. I have tons of pieces parts..multiple copies of cds...playing with multiple tweaks, however, I've never truly heard a killer Hi Fi system as described in this forum or in online reviews. I'm still a newbie. But I obsess over speaker placement, brass...

    I purchased it because I can use the Aune 8 as a pre-amp for other applications in the future, as in a desk top etc. I find its only downfall is doesnt have XLR outputs. I have been buying a combination of products to play with. In retrospect I could a decent r2r unit with all the connects...
