It's all wooley subjective richness and deepness and clarity... Which have all been proven, repeatedly, to be complete bollocks when the same people are asked to compare products under scientific double-blind conditions (i.e. where their pre-conceptions _can't_ affect the result). -- David Taylor

You've bought two sets of interconnects, totalling �180. Yet you're using the �30 ones. Thus totally wasting �150 (well, more like �175, but still). -- David Taylor
