Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?

AE SP12 or Zavfino Nova OCC?

Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this !
I love the GD and have a lot of Dick's, Road Trips, Dave's, and individual live/studio albums. At this juncture though, I see no point in buying yet another version of "Me and My Uncle," "Morning Dew," or even "Dark Star." It's really enough, at l...

Duplicate Serial Numbers
Spoke to the manufacturer. Was advised that the speakers look authentic and that it may simply have been an accidental duplication of serial numbers.  
Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio
I second the Audio Envy cables. They blew my Cardas GR out of the water.  
New Improved Fink Team Borg Episode 2 Speakers : End-Game Speakers ?
Look at this way ... it’s a speaker AND a casket. Think of how much money you’ll be saving your relatives in the end, while enjoying them when you’re alive..  
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
Joseph Audio Pulsars (non-graphene).  
Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now?
So, here’s the deal ... you need to determine the point of diminishing returns. Are the Sashas THAT MUCH BETTER than the Sabrinas? What’s the percentage of improvement? If it’s a wide margin, then I say to go for it because tomorrow is not guarant...
