"There is nothing duller or less engaging than gear without a distinctive voice."
Disagree here..... I think in a lot of cases, a "house sound" can get tiresome over extended periods..... I'm just not big on noticing a "common signature" with different recordings or different types of music.....
Recordings have a "house sound" too..... DMP and Sheffield come to mind.... In moderation a "house sound" is enjoyable.... But I wouldn't spend an entire night listening exclusively to Sheffields, for the same reason above. Even though the recordings are otherwise top notch.
