    But looks aren't everything when you get in from work to find your home full of them, angrily debating plastic in the ocean, your kitchen trashed and your fridge empty And don't get me started on the state of the bathroom.
    I rented a big place off a mate and let out a couple of the rooms to a couple of students I knew. I thought that most of the time they'd be at college and the rest out with their mated but I think because it was a big place with a hi-fi it turned into party central

    Quite often I'd come home from a 12 hour shift to find about a dozen of them in the living room listening to young people music (usually Ozrics or The Orb), as was the style at the time.

    Sometimes I had to step over a couple of unconscious ones in the hallway as I came in.

    I didn't really have an issue with it and I was also able to sell them quite a lot of my cast-off equipment. My girlfriend at the time was less than happy about it though.

    So the same thing as playing music through normal vs fancy DACs?
