That shows your total lack of dedication to the audiophile cause, David.

I, of course, only listen to my stereo in my purpose-built anechoic  
bunker twenty-five metres below ground. This allows me to better  
appreciate the lack of oxygen in my speaker cables, and the clear  
effect of the gold-plating on the power fuses. Power is provided by a  
dedicated substation nearby on the surface.

I've reserved a site near the Sea of Tranquility for my next stereo  
installation. I've started saving already.
