RE: Is highend audio evil science?

"It costs a fortune for better sound quality."

Not necessarily. Solving a ground loop in the system might be free and give tons of perceived performance boost.

Finding the balance between utilizing your technical acumen to optimize and get more bang for the buck as opposed to throwing godlike resources at the problem and never having to worry about optimizing anything since either the gear is so good or the team setting it up does all the work for you.

In my case I spend very little since that's all I have available but spend more time stressing over how bad it turned out. :) Though I must say I have learned tons about optimizing low cost gear ever since the first time I decided to try and get pc audio going on in my system and all the problems that came up the first time I hooked my stereo to my Pro Audio Spectrum 16 to hear Doom cranked to 11 back in the day.
