    Of the choices available, I am most certainly a Sonophile.

    "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!

    I would have to be many, many times richer to be the gear-head audiophile I'd like to be. So I just pretend not to notice anymore. I'm always fascinated by new ways to make sounds beyond traditional cones. I remember reading those audiophile magazines in the 80s along side Road & Track and the automobile magazines. Side by side, the equipment in the Audio magazines was far more expensive than even the most expensive production cars. A pair of speakers (no other equipment, just speakers!) or a Porche! You decide.

    Yes, being a child of the 80s, I would like a pair of SDA SRSs.
