"Assuming just plain stereo, the job of the hi-fi system remains simply to ensure that the two channels that the record producers have created for us make it into the room as close to intact as possible. When this is done properly it can sound pretty spectacular.
However, at every stage in the recording and replay process, distortions are added to the signal. It would seem fairly straightforward that we would like to minimise those distortions. But while audiophiles and the hi-fi industry may pay lip service to this idea they then simply rip it up and start from the position that pimped-up copies of technology from circa 1950 are the best way to achieve this. This ancient technology contributes quite a few distortions that modern technology would not. There is no prospect of fundamental improvements."
Amen....
