Only subjectivists could think that you can listen through a system and abstract all the rest to hear the source.

"Only subjectivists could think that you can listen through a system and abstract all the rest to hear the source."Basically focused on the downstream system based on his original sources, not realizing that it may have ended up being a "synergy" with that particular source, where a better source would likely not provide such effect.
It also illustrates that in audio, merely throwing $$$ into a system often does not achieve satisfaction. The most-dissatisfied audiophiles I know personally all own systems whose retail price add up to over fifty grand. (I've also come to the realization that the driving force behind tweaks is the need to tailor the sound to make the expenditure seem worthwhile.)
This is why I think getting the source down first is paramount. It is amazing how the downstream portion of a system can be optimized in a cost-effective manner with a good source. And the resultant satisfaction is lot higher as well.
Amen!!
