This fascinates me on a social level. I enjoy something that sounds good but that seems like so much effort to listen to music, at what point would it be more effort than it's worth? At what point do your ears start fading out?

Then again, to many people, a Hyundai will get you from point A to B with far less effort than we put into our cars.

Dave/Mike I still need to take you up on the listening to your systems. I'm afraid it will be another crack pipe to me.......
