Stephen, I am beginning to worry about you and this blog. At first, it seemed that the point of the blog was to discover the joys, slowly, of the high-end experience. Part of the appeal is that there are not limitless finanancial resources to back this journey. The fact that high-end manufacturers keep offering to drop off equipment to your apartment waters down the approach. I read this column to gain insights into the experience of someone that is at my same level economically and auditorially. Certainly, if someone walked into my home and gave/loaned me a $7,000+ system, I'd have some nice things to say. The problem is that you are trying to appeal to younger folks who have no similar point of reference. Stereophile already has perception problems when it comes to reviewed products. Please do not go down the same path.David
