Somewhere, in an alternate universe, let's call it "the stereophile forums", there is surely a post exactly like this, thanking Mr Atkinson for his advice and viewpoints.
I think I've seen that post thanking John for his advice several times.
Of course the part about money saved, not so much! ;-)
BTW I would be more pleased if money saved on senseless upgrades to electronics were redirected to loudspeakers or room acoustics, where the cost benefit ratio can be very impressive. ;-)
