Yes, I am a total lossless snob. I buy CD's and I listent to CD's for 3 reasons.
1. I like having the case and the liner.
2. I like having the original recording uncompressed.
3. I like paying for my music.

I'll admit when it comes to cables I'm not very educated. I've got audioquest GBC speaker cable because hcmaudio has it on super sale. I'm using audioquest sidewinder as for my one and only IC. To be honest, I'm a semi skeptic regarding hi-end wire, but I still invested in these audioquest products just to be on the safe side and it was a small investment.
