    Aren't the headphones less than 1/10th of the total cost? That's just silly.

    I'm half sure the Super Aluminata cables make up half the price of this system, actually. Which seems insane to me, but I don't think I've ever spend more than 5 bucks on a single cable, so I might be missing out.

    I just looked up the price of JDS cables. Totally gutted now because I must be missing out on so much musicality by not owning $7000 speaker cable and $4000 interconnects. I mean, to be worth so much, those cables must sound loads better than the $5/metre cables I've used for years.

    Thread locked. This is noise. It's just not newsworthy.

    I'd really like us to make a concerted effort to keep noise down.
