Sure, one goal in audio is high fidelity. But it's not a moral imperative for people to have that goal. Aren't they entitled to their preferences in audio?

Pat D,As usual you'd rather argue and hijack a post than discuss the actual topic, i.e. What Constitutes Accurate Musical Replication? The topic isn't about whether or not people can choose to assemble audio systems following different methods Pat! You are always talking about proper posting yet you constantly change the topic and hijack posts like you're doing once again here.
beermanpete, myself and I'm quite sure many others here, believe What Constitutes Accurate Musical Replication? is done via the "Faithful capture and reproduction of musical events is the pursuit of the passion we call Hi-Fi." The ONLY way one can know if they are getting close to that goal is via exposure to as much live unamplified music as is possible for one to obtain.
You, as well as anyone else here, are free to follow any other method you so choose. In fact the proof that you don't follow the method beermanpete and I are refering to is evidenced in your audio system. These choices of audio components reflects you're exercising your entitlement to other preferences in audio, other than the goal of high fidelity. Now I finally understand why we never agree on anything in audio. I want a system that sounds as close to live unamplified music as I can achieve and you have other audio goals and preferences than that. Thanks for finally making that so abundantly clear.
You can aspire to less the your best if you like. That is your choice.As for live music being the goal goes; A believable recreation of live music is the goal of MY pursuit. All the rest is the means to that end. I must confess that I spend more time with the technology and thinking about circuit behavior and how to improve its behavior than I do listening to music. However the primary purpose remains to be to improve the capability of my playback system.
