guys it's struck me just how jaded a lot of us are. we've all been arround the block a few times and when someone comes in with a bit of enthusiasm (and maybe a bit of misplaced zealotry) we treat them like a witch and try to burn them. yes bd may be a bit ott when it comes to objectivism but i don;t think he deserves the reception he's had - i may not agree with his methods of choosing hi-fi (being a devout follower of HOBBY the subjective) but that doesn;t mean i won;t listen to him with respect.

just a thought.

cheers
