Reality?

Sure and as audiophiles shouldn't we strive to achieve systems that sound the best based on our priorities? "branding" and pride of ownership are issues for others.

>>What I don't buy into, is the notion that audiophiles are
>>selectively immune to or unaffected by branding. No one can escape
>>the knowledge they acquire, be it brands, testimonials,
>>dealers,...oh yeah, "audiophile" magazines.
That's the problem an audiophile would not consider it as knowledge and in fact this kind of crap is offered up as relevant and credible information. It's not knowledge, it's heresay, bs, advertising and paid for opinions. Knowledge my ass - every audiophile should dismiss 98% of what they read in magazines as crap.

You're beginning to sound like someone who's trying to explain why an audiophile magazine no longer caters to audiophiles. Explain and rationalize it all you want - it doesn't change the facts.

>>>>Reality hurts?
Believe me I'm not disagreeing with your take on "reality" and I can assure you if it's hurting someone it's not me.

Give me rhythm or give me death!
