    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    As much money as I can carry. Find a stockbroker. Invest in General Motors, with instructions to sell all in, say, 1965 and buy a company called IBM, then sell that in 1980, and buy a company called Microsoft, then sell that in 2000 and buy a company called Apple, then sell that in 2005 and buy a company called Google.

    Or just bring an iTouch with a copy of the Back To The Future trilogy...

    How so? It is a legitimate response. Just how many Americans from the 50s would have predicted a black President of the United States in 2010.

    I think he was asking if you were wanting him to be president in that era. Or just wanted to throw him back to the wolves.

    Let us know.

    So most of you folks don't like Obama as a man?

    If so, just admit you are racist and get off the boards.

    Interesting edit. But as I was taught, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. So I'll just move on. Good job changing the tone of this thread though. Way to go!.

    Are you kidding me? Another edit, and this one outshines the last. This is just uncalled for.

    What about my statement was racist, and how DARE you insinuate such. I will not stand for this and let it go by without calling you on it. :mad:

    If you question my post, take it private and I will be happy to discuss it privately.
