Sheesh. Stick a wire in the phono input of a $2,000 McIntosh amplifier
connected to $3,000 Klipschorn speakers. Who cares if the receiver
needs to be within fifty feet of the transmitting antenna, the audio
will be terrific!

If you're *that* worried about pure audio, reach into a *good* receiver
and tap off a low-level audio feed for your expensive stereo.


Who's worried ???
