Hi again Like I said, I admire scientists' curious minds. Without questionings some of the fundamentals, many breakthroughs would not have happened. But imo, you have to draw a line when enough experiments are performed and verified a certain theory or model, that you have to accept that it is the 'truth' until some one manages to come up with a new angle for an experiment and disprove it. If you do not accept the possibility of some form of truth and facts do indeed exists, you no longer live in a world that we can touch upon, feel upon. Reality will become virtual if you have absolutely no 'facts'. In fact I just recently read one of Richard Feynman's lectures in the book The Meaning of It All, in which he went in depth about what the term 'scientific' means. If you just dream of models after models, then I guess you will be glad to get into the String theory camp. At some point, you do need to draw a line to differentiate facts vs fictions. imho. i am no scientist. But again, this is just a piece of consumer electronics. I see no reason why you would put yourself through that kind of torture. Buy it. If you dont like it, I am sure you can get rid of it on audiogon in no time with minimal loss. Then you can go back to your modified SB3. The Scientiifc American article I referred to in an earlier post is called The Tyrrany of Choice.
