I use the one-time-use credit cards on a regular basis -- especially if
I'm unsure of the seller, pricing, etc. Quite handy.

This brings up a side-topic (about which we may agree): Specs may not
be everything, but measurements are. It's a matter of determining what
measurements to make, how to make them, and correlating that to human
perceptions. Many audiophiles believe that only a "golden ear" can
truly evaluate audio equipments, while many "Stereo Review" writers and
subscribers believe that we have defined all necessary measurements.
Neither group is right and I hope that we get some meaningful research
so that we have more to go on than frequency response, S/N ratio, and
THD (total harmonic distortion).
