"what all the fuss is about"

I hear that a lot. I think it boils down to a basic difference in the preferences of listeners. One type wants to be engaged/seduced by, drawn into, the music and the other wants to observe the music - have it layed out in front of them. This is Bob Neill's distinction, not mine, but I think it is very apt.

Audio Note (UK) lovers want to be engaged by the music. I think the same is probably true of Odyssey amp owners: they both pull you into the music (based on my one experience of them at RMAF several years back). Then, as Bob notes, Blue Circle products lay the music out in front of you.

This distinction is not normative; no judgement is implied about either type of listener.

Something to think about. Maybe it fits your own experience?
