WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?

Yeah, maybe, sharing doesn't always take pretty forms.
djones51, good thought.

but some things that seem preposterous are in fact real...and many are free or cheap...but there is only so much time to try these all...

Well of course they are real or else people would not do them and stand by them....right?

Well you're either justifying the cost of expensive gear or declaring that your budget gear is just as good as the expensive stuff.  Happily I fall into the second category!

Darn it!  Of course that immediately led right to an image I'd never want to imagine...  Now I'm gonna have to find a bottle of wine and marinate with some music to hopefully dissolve that unfortunate image...
