no matter how hard you try....In matters of art, - there is no right and wrong, - and no two people will agree on what makes a "good" component, or a "right" component.
There are far two many variables in tastes, environments, budgets, and preferences to ever come to any kind of "consensus," - ever.This is why blind testing remains relatively useless. More often, we can here differences without a blind test. "Goodness" and "badness" qualities that result from those tests will remain within a unique idiosyncratic, experiential, interpretation...
And finally, - the cost of high end audio equipment has only DECREASED! If you adjust for inflation, and "quality" of gear, - high quality, bang for the buck, gear has gotten cheaper. In the late 60s, - a really good High Fi costs as much as a really good family sedan....
The problem of leisure, what to do for pleasure. Ideal love a new purchase, a market of the senses. Dream of the perfect life.
