Was just trying to have some fun, from now on I will restrict my threads to reviews on what I buy and advice, sorry If i caused any offense, imo people have "different" ears your idea of good is partial to no one but yourself, i'm sorry that I offended you with such trivial things.
Edit: This wasn't even me flaunting my "gear" which is not too high end anyway, I was mainly poking fun at my friend turning up the PREAMP all the way in software and then declaring his opinion.
