The wonderful thing about the English language is its ability to adapt and change. I wouldn't bemoan Shakespeare - his language was very changed from the Middle English of Chaucer, and Shakespeare learned a lot from Chaucer. Some argue that the inspiration for Falstaff came from the Wife of Bath. Certainly English has changed since then, as people learn to adapt and use it for a different world.I don't think this example is unclear - just stupid. "Audiophile components of the sound", to me means those parts of sound that audiophiles like, such as sound stage, dynamics, etc. It would be better to mention these things specifically however.
Actually what bugs me is how a lot of people on the internet have forgotten such things as punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and just plain making some sense. these thinggies were 'vented so that ritin could be followed see what i mean??!!?? ....
