Audio used to be known as "an engineer's hobby". The hobby part for most of us today -- and most of us are *not* engineers -- is otherwise known as "tweaking". Which means, trying to get more out of our stuff than the original makers, for whatever reason, provided.In the (perhaps) "good old days" one never questioned that the record was good as it stood, one instead built amps and loudspeakers. Today we know that records (and CDs) require all sorts of attention, and rest content to change tubes in our amps and reposition our speakers.
If you care to know, I think the new way is preferable. And to whatever extent Stereophile covers tweaks -- granted, that's not a lot -- it covers the "hobbyist material".
