This hobby can be fun just by reading the mags and most reviewer's BS. I dis-believe most manufacturer's, reviewer's and dealer's hyperbole, especially Stereophile and most mags that just perpetuate the BS.
I might have mentioned about my complete disbelief in"HI-END AC receptacles. Most in my home are 20 to 40 years old, but "amazingly" my toaster, washer, dryer and soldering iron, ect. work fine. "i'm so surprised they haven't stopped working".
