Nobody needs a DBT to tell that DUP's system beats Jan's system every day of the week. And I don't even have to hear both systems to know that! Just knowing the power available and frequency response specs - and a dose of common sense - tells me all I need to know. 
My common sense tells me that this is a very rude, foolish, small-minded thing to say. (But perhaps Ethan was joking, as is suggested by the grin emoticon used to complete his sentence.)
It leads me to wonder, however: Would it be possible to continue the Furutech deMag discussion without insulting anyone's hi-fi system? Do you think it'd be possible? (This is a serious question.) Or are we bound to insult one another's hi-fis simply by discussing them?
Related: Why is it that we become so upset when others do not value our hi-fi systems? Is it because our systems resemble our selves, and by insulting one's system, we are insulting one's self? Are we, through our systems, trying to communicate something dear about ourselves?
