#113 Vinyl rules. CDs lack soul
#114 Since I started streaming, I haven't looked back. My CD collection is gathering dust.
#115 I enjoy walking to the cupboard and finding a CD, walking back to the system. Would grow even fatter without the exercise.
#116 Having trouble since the latest firmware update, so tried my old CD player which is gathering dust (see 114). A miracle! CD rules. And it is so easy!
#117 You should up / downgrade to a <insert player of choice>. You'll never look back!
#118 I now have a sonos. Sure, it sounds crap, but it's convenient. I'll never look back
#119 Now added an old record player. Wow!
-> back to 113.

#126: "stereo is" - in the words of Otto Klemperer - "a fake" ...
#127: It's all about the music [implication is that if you are an audiophile or have an interest in hi-fi, equipment, or sound quality you are then disqualified from understanding the music 
]
#128: PRAT [...it has none or "I could not stop my toes from tapping"]
#129: Bach NOT on the Pianoforte or Bach would not like that or ....

#130: Hi-fi is just a means to an end.
Similar to 127 and often preceded and followed by the same member getting involved in countless technical discussions on the merits of this that and the other.

# 132 The (insert power supply model) takes the (insert source or pre amp model) to a whole new level.
# 133 The DR upgrade to (insert above power supply or classic power amp model) makes the non DR version sound broken.

# 134 : Discussions of how music makes you feel will be dealt with severely.

Jan-Erik, it's to do with the emotionally repressed English.
I think you said you are half English (could be wrong) so you (half) know where I am coming from.
Sorry, l'm listening to my favourite album at the moment and need to grab a hanky.
Yours, emotional of Chesham.
