That also being said, everyone can hear some differences - you don't need to be a "trained ear." Hell, the speakers that Chandler Bing and Joey had in their apartment were about $5000/pair. And that's chicken feed in the grand scheme of things. Of course they had no electronics but that's neither here nor there.
Also, if you're going to invest in the electronics, you're absolutely stupid not to invest in the best surge suppressor/line conditioner you can afford. Those people in New York will be sad to find out that when the power comes back on, a lot of their electronics will have blown out. The service departments will be packed with people with dead computers, TV's and stereos from the surge - all which could have been avoided with a $100 (NOT $10) surge protector. NO, I don't work for a surge protector company, but have many many friends in "the business."

I prefer the PS Audio products. For a mere several k, you can have a power unit that takes the crap wall AC power, turns it into DC power, then reconverts into pure sine wave AC power that is regulated to the volt. It's like champagne for your electronics.
That's what the review says anyway. It's like lifting a blanket off the car horn at the beginning of Runnin With The Devil. So it should be worth it right there, no? |
