pics or it didn't happen.
would you like a picture of my new conditional formating?

I don't really get the snobbery about people buying Bose and similar, just because they aren't what we supposedly knowledgeable folk would buy. I'm sure we all do it with non-AV stuff that we don't know so much about. We probably all own something that's style over substance.
I have a Nespresso machine. I like it, but some of my friends who are into 'real' coffee sneer every time they see it. They bore me when they try to convert me. Same with Wine, I'm perfectly happy with a cheapish bottle of plonk, and I can't really be bothered with being lectured about why I should try such and such a type. I wear Nike running gear, and I yawn every time someone tells me that I could do far better with Asics.
I just let people enjoy what they're got. If they ask for my advice, I'll offer it, but I wouldn't dream of criticising their choices, especially once they've bought them. Just me?
thanks for informing us as to how rich your family is.

NO - agree with everything you said!
His choice, works for him, be it branding/style/sound quality/image quality.
Just because someone else thinks they know better does not mean it would be the right choice, we all have opinions and choices (thankyfully!)
In my opinion to say this or that brand is bad/good is a mistake (refering to Bose systems / Sony TVs). With in a range/brand there can be good and bad examples. It is very narrow minded.
What does your nephew do with all the gear you buy him that he doesn't want?
Also, why not take him out to a few decent av shops and let him hear the difference in various setups before spending all that money?

Really? What's their problem with Nepresso? You've got me worried now. Is it because the beans haven't been swallowed and pooped out by an amazonian beaver, and lovingly hand-ground by virgins in nepal? That'll probably be one of their next limited editions, I'd imagine.I have a Nespresso machine. I like it, but some of my friends who are into 'real' coffee sneer every time they see it.

Beaver-Virgin would make a great name for it.

I find I don't need to pay for that.Virgin-Beaver would sell more.
That being said he does own Beats by Dre headphones
I have a pair of shure se530s , a pair of Senheisser HD600s and a pair of Beyer-Dynamic DT250s ( 250ohm version) and a totally customised MF Xcans V2 setup with dedicated off board power supply.
However apparently I still don't know anyhing about headphones because if I did I'd have a pair of Beats by Dr.Dre.
I have however retired from the world of advising friends and family on hifi , video and computers as they seem to think I'm ultimately responsible for when they malfunction 10 years down the road as well as providing lifetime tech support.
Nowadays I just keep quiet. Although I couldn't disguise my disgust at a colleague insisting his headphones were professional because they had the "Marshall" logo on the side of them

Christ, wish I had an uncle like you. Best I got was a set of mugs.

That's agreeing with you BTW
