much less heard the system he brings to CES most years (I did every year from 2000 to 2007), or even care.

Well a video is a static thing - there is no question answer to say hey Peter what about X to let the person expand or explain the point more. That's the nature of such things - in conversation the person can explain and expand their points.
People who know him and have talked to him more know what he meant with system matching - since his gear is system matched from different companies. But oh well.
We also understand the analogy of the car - he is talking about premade parts and walking over to a Honda and taking out a Honda Civic engine and sticking it in Ferrari and taking the wheels off a Ford Escort and sticking it on the Ferrari.
He was NOT talking about a company like a BMW designing a car and then OEMing other companies to build the products such as having Pirelli designing tires and having Ferrari building the engines etc.
Clearly he was talking about putting post production part that was made for another car and plopping it into a vehicle that doesn't fit. E-Stat is smart enough to know this of course but he has axes to grind.

Well, I guess if you're inept enough to match a Behringer preamplifier with a Lamm power amplifier connected via red and white patch cords your example might make sense. :)
He specifically spoke of "the challenge" of matching amps to the efficiency of a speaker and the output impedance of a preamp to a power amp. Do solving these simple matching concepts present a challenge to you, too?
I have no bone to pick with him. Utter BS, however, is well - utter BS. :)
but it's the minutia they choose to pick apart.
A lot of what Audio Note does is counter intuitive. And his point of the silver wire and silver transformer wire is spot on, from my experience.
Silver is REALLY hard to manage as it make a marginal system sound WORSE!
And who else is selling a DAC for $100K then finding a BETTER solution more in the $20K+ range, then deciding to upgrade the $100K customers for free?
Most manufacturers would exclaim the greatness of the new/better product and sell it for $120K.
But Peter is in for the long haul, and his customer ain't wasting time posting on this board. They're busy making money so they can afford to buy a complete, 100% AN system and not worry about the endless audiophile component roulette. Why? Because they spend their time MAKING MONEY and listening to their systems, not fiddling with them, like I do. :-(
