Re: A Good Audio System Is the Best Stress Relief Money Can Buy
Good article. Several themes discussed there. One being that it is so much cheaper to have an audiophile system today than in the past!
"Today, you can put an audiophile system together that costs a quarter as much that destroys the performance of what we could do a generation ago. "

Couldn't agree more. I'm in my family room/music/recording studio every day. Can't wait to get the rest of my audio system together. Gonna be a long wait to January.

Re: A Good Audio System Is the Best Stress Relief Money Can Buy
It's all personal. For some people it is a music and a high end audio system. For others is coke and prostitutes. It's all the same.

Re: A Good Audio System Is the Best Stress Relief Money Can Buy
Why? I found the title "the best money can buy" a bit haughty. Since it's very much a individual choice. There is no such thing as "the best stress relief money can buy" everyone makes their own choice and as long as no one gets hurt it's all fine. Originally Posted by steve59
