I changed my tag line; I replaced "good audiophile" by "interesting".
It's best to never put a judgement but let others be their own masters. :b

As for sceptic (skeptic):

I wouldn't fret too much about it. ...A "c" or a "k"; both are correct in my book.
It won't make a dent on the article from that link I provided.

Everyday the world have changed, everyday I am aware. Emotional music connections intensify as we get older and gain wisdom. I am 100% convinced of it. We are like androids, with processing chips that connect us more and more to everything in the world; it affects how we perceive and hear music from the musicians we learn more about. Both the analog and digital worlds are making giant steps towards mankind...it is inescapable the romance we have for the one we love.
Nothing in the world can separate the love inside the heart of a man and a woman, the love inside the heart of a musician singing the sérénade to his mistress...Romeo & Juliet.

It's the Music in us that makes who we are, us that makes the Music when playing it.

R.I.P. Aretha Franklin

The soul of the Music has no borderlines.
