RE: De gustibus non est disputandum (nt)

I just posted this to dadbar in a thread below.

dadbar had said,

"The point I was making is that I don't really care about what the music should "really" sound like as long as I am totally enjoying what I hear out of my own system."

My response to him was,

"That is the way most people feel about the subject but the original goal of the hobby, Hi-Fi, was to reproduce as accurately as possible the sound of the original event.

Since we can't control the recording process, reproducing the recording as accurately as possible is all we can do.

There is nothing wrong with having a different goal but having a different goal means that it's a different hobby.

I call it [the] "Happy, Happy sound machine" [hobby] with no real disrespect intended."
