[Boatanchors] Audiophoolery

[Jim Wilhite]

This is like a person who needs a VW Bug but buys a Hummer because the 
salesman told him/her the Hummer runs quitter and would get them to work 
better.

Too much money for their ability to read and comprehend.    I just wish I 
could invent a legal way to part them with some of their money in great 
sums.
