Also, if you're going to invest in the electronics, you're absolutely stupid not to invest in the best surge suppressor/line conditioner you can afford. Those people in New York will be sad to find out that when the power comes back on, a lot of their electronics will have blown out. The service departments will be packed with people with dead computers, TV's and stereos from the surge - all which could have been avoided with a $100 (NOT $10) surge protector. NO, I don't work for a surge protector company, but have many many friends in "the business."

Four points:

One, your silly agression and erroneous Timmification suggests that you tie a lot of your self-worth up in your possessions and knowledge about them. Have you though about trying to better your life in ways that can't be summed up in a page on some home theater website?

Two, When you're talking about how someone is going to "invest in the electronics," you surely are not talking about an "investment." Is that what you're saying? Because, if that's what you're saying, I don't really need to respond to that.

Third, I'm not arguing that there is not a difference or misunderstanding your simple point that there is. I was making a different point, which you seemed to miss in your desire to lash out at me for what you perceived to be a personal attack. I'm simply arguing that most people don't think that additional quality is worth all that extra money, and that a lot of people who are into home theater and premium sound don't get that some people choose to spend their money on other things, even though it might mean that their systems don't sound as good. I do know how fantastic high-end stuff sounds; I just have better ways to spend $50k or so.

Four, since this is all in good fun, I will only bite you if you moan a lot and talk about my "amp" and your "receiver."
