What's it all about?

The aim of my hifi is to put a smile on my face. If someone else thinks my choice is no good, that's fine by me, as I'm still a very happy bunny.

I'd also say if any of you are chasing technical perfection, then who's to say that goal is even in alignment with personal enjoyment?

Bubby, it seems you need to learn to take this chilled approach more often. If someone doesn't like your kit as much as you do, it's not an insult. I doubt we all like the same food, alcohol, cars, holidays, clothes or much else for that matter. It's only opinion after all. It's ok for you to be wrong.
