You believe because you've dropped the big bucks and WANT to believe. But most of it is hype and the EIA has done a superb job of convincing consumers how badly they need the new whistles and bells. There is very little difference between the propaganda used today by the drug companies to sell their nonsense snake oil ("restless legs syndrome," etc) and that which the has come from manufacturers of modern day radios. Save your money, pick up a cheap older rig and you'll enjoy it as much as (if not more than) the rigs filled with rarely used features and performance specifications that are patently unnecessary. And while I am at it, my quote was that "MOST" can discern the difference in 100 cycles. I didn't say ALL. This group seems include many Doberman pinschers with keen hearing. What a bunch of nitpicky old ladies are on here. Yes. We've noticed that. |
