RE: Are you a tone guy or a details-retrieval guy?

At this point in my audiophile life, I'm about sonic "balance" more than anything else. Sure, I like hearing details I've never heard before--that's really cool, and I'm still a sucker for that trick--but detail without tone is just a crooked assemblage of sounds. And tone without detail is just a musical blob. So I've tried to stake out a midpoint. Who knows how successful I've been. I guess it depends on whom you ask. But it's not easy, and it's taken a lot of time and experimentation, and a whole lot of money!

This is a public service announcement . . . WITH GUITARS!!!
