Jealosy can be very ugly.

What sort of a **** comes on a hobbyists newsgroup like this and spouts
such
garbage? You are a very sad little man.

I have a hobby - I spend my hard-earned money on it. So

Spot on Nick. The Green Eyed Monster accounts for much put-downs of
audiophiles, their money and their gear. In my time I've heard some truly
great sounding audiophile systems (some that likely cost a national debt of
a small country). I wonder if yacht owners or expensive car buyers get the
same derisory treatment? .

Now just think how many of the homeless could have been housed on the cost
of the dome or from the ever escalating cost of the new Scottish Parliament
building - audiophiles are just monetary small fry in the scheme of things.
