I quite enjoyed it actually!

And I might mention that I am an electronics engineer, do audio design and
high performance speaker design as a hobby. I almost don't want to get
started on the high-end esoteric "audiophile" equipment discussion -- it's one
that I've been involved in many many times over the past 20 years or so.

Suffice it to say there are "true believers" and nothing you do will change
their mind. My own (as unbiased as I can be) opinion is that audio has a lot
of psycho-acoustic elements and not everything one hears (which I believe is
different for every person -- after all they each have unique "transducers")
can be easily quantified or measured. But I also believe that every sound, 
coloration and nuance of reproduction and processing equipment can be explained.
Sometimes it's just not easy to do. As an old-time audio engineering saying goes,
"If you can't measure what you're hearing, you must not be measuring the right
thing!"

Oh yeah, there is a lot of "hooey" out there too!
