Oh please, give me a break...

>No other hobby has cost differences and unsubstantiated claims as does ours does.>

I beg your pardon, but every hobby does.

>A Ferrari will blow my lowly Bimmer off of the road.>

Yeah but what about an M5 with a V-10?

Since I owned a '95 NSX-T for a couple of years, I still have the article comparing it to a '95 Targa and an F-355. Specs for 0-60 and skidpad were all very similar but the important thing was how the cars drove - how they felt. Specs and price don't tell you much.

>Does the highly praised Dartzeel really sound 6 times better than my 50 watt Plinius (a mini Plini?)? Or is it really perhaps a 1 or 2 % difference?>

That's for you to decide - no one else can make that determination for you. Even the best reviewer. Or the worst ones in TAC.

> For that difference I would much rather spend my hard earned (the extra 15 grand) on room acoustics or better speakers for a possible 20 % change for the better.>

Good - then do it and shut up about it.

>As if an amp or a cable change is going to make bjh's speakers sound like yours.>

No one is claiming that it will. Or that he even wants them to.

>Yes, I hear differences.>

Not good enough - can you PROVE them?

>But I don't see that they really are as great as those claimed.>

A lot of these guys don't hear any differences at all, so you're ahead of the game. But that's ok - you can focus your time and attention on something else.

>Debating on whether or not his Harmon mute would sound better with this cable or that is laughable.>

Perhaps, but that's what some hobbyists do and enjoy doing.

If it seems laughable to you, fine; then go to a different forum and talk about something else.

We may find that laughable - as your comments above.

It's only a hobby. Don't take it so seriously.
