RE: Audio System Performance (a rant)

The two errors can, potentially, offset each other exactly. One does not listen to individual components, one listens to the complete system, or, more precisely, the complete record-playback chain. There would be no reason to prefer a system with two perfectly "flat" components, vs. one that had two components with exactly offsetting errors. There would be nothing mediocre about such a system.

Some types of errors, especially non-linear distortion, do not have offsetting errors, so in this case your conclusion would be correct, but I don't believe that's what Sordidman was discussing.
