OK. When I import music to my iTunes library I have it set to AIFF, not MP3. I spent a lot more money on my audio monitors than I did on my computer monitor. I want to hear all there is to hear. I believe that I can definitely tell the difference. Even in live performances I try to position myself most advantageously. But I do draw the line somewhere. That is, my limited finances draw the line somewhere… Maybe that’s for the best. But these guys are serious about their ears as pathways to their souls. Why should you throw your iPod in the river and spend at least $100,000 for your next audio delivery system? The Audiophile Club Of Athens explains it all. Listen to these guys justify their obsession, (and check the pimped out gear!).
