We read in posts here and on other boards statement like ;* DVD-A (or SACD - take your choice) is faulty and not as good as SACD (or DVD-A)
* The sound from CDs is crappy compared to vinyl
* Who would sanely mess around cleaning LPs, adjusting cartridges, junping up & down ever 20 or so minutes, .....
* Tube sound is the only realistic sound
* Home Theatre is rubbish & its surround sound only good for helicopter noises in the room
My favorites are:
* Even my daughter's boombox sounds better than anything Bose makes...
* It's all in your head- There are no sonic differences in wire...
* Two-channel audio will die- It behooves you to go multi-channel...
* Tubes?? You're living in the past...
* You spent a grand for that power cord?? Oh brother...
* Do you have PROOF to back up your claim??? If you don't, you're FOS!!!
* DEALER X JUST <insert rip-off story or customer service nightmare here, in all caps>
* Read the <insert technical document here> and quit posting misinformation!!
