Music lovers

[E-Stat]

Just a small correction: love of music and love of equipment are two different things -- but they aren't mutually exclusive.

Exactly. The term means that if one is true, the other CANNOT simultaneously be true as well. If you are sad, then you cannot be happy. A power switch can either be on or off, but not both at the same time. In this case, the love of high performance gear can most certainly feed and enhance the love of music. It is just not required. I developed a love of music regularly listening to a battery powered Zenith AM radio. But, I'd rather hear my music on the Sea Cliff system.

Keeping this in perpsective to the OP, the question was do you have audiophile quality reproduction to love music. That requirement as you point out is mutually exclusive. Is it possible to love both? Dam straight.

What I point out is they are independent, not mutually exclusive. There is no exclusion whatsoever. If they were mutually exclusive, if you loved music, you couldn't love equipment or if you loved equipment, you couldn't love music. Such is clearly NOT the case.

My goal is not to "be right", but to clarify. I thought Feanor broached the topic to you in a kind manner.

I hope you will take the following comment in the spirit in which it is communicated. My job involves writing documentation and I give public presentations. As such, I am always aware of spelling because people judge you by the quality of your work. I think you will find that taking an extra moment to go back and correct your many typos will serve to better reflect your comments. End of rant.

3db, I think we all understand what you are trying to say. The issue is that you are using the term "mutually exclusive" incorrectly...

Mutually Exclusive, in the context of this discussion, means that if you love music then you cannot be an audiophile. And if you are an audiophile then you cannot be a music lover.

What you are actually saying is that someone can be a music lover, an audiophile or both.
