I prefer to view things directly, but photography is a poor second, a grim reminder of the reality. I am on Brian's side on this discussion, for a thousand reasons. I do photoraphy as art and as an occasional paying gig. I listen to music. An entirely different experience. I comprehend that there are folks out there who can tell the difference between a $9.95, and a $99.50, and a $995.00 cable. Shit, folks. I have a ten-year-old Radio Shack Dolby tape player in my car. I hve a twenty-year-old Radio Shack CD-player and a twenty-year-old set of speakers with my Radio Shiack amp. So what? Any of you folks ever GO to LISTEN to the music yourselves? I heard the Grateful Dead in person, and Joplin, and Slick and so forth at the Free Concerts in Golden Gate Park back in '67 and '68. I HEARD Steve Allen play the piano, on a number of occasions. I have HEARD the Ice Man croon the best there can be. The personal experience explodes any claim or contention that "cables" can ever provide.
