...the beautiful mystery of discovery in audio is akin to that of music. Does one listen to a new symphony, say, because some panel has decided for it? Or rather because, your buddy was enthused? Well that's how audio works too! From that point one needs only to satisfy oneself, whether in music or in audio.

Some people find knowing technical stuff gets in the way of their enjoyment, some don't. I knew a very nice girl who said that knowing what the rocks and trees were, and the geology and evolution, would spoil the experience of nature and the outdoors for her. Not everyone is like that.

Not everyone is like that. < <True. And I'm sure she's very happy in nature, with nothing to concentrate her attention on except its beauty. The gearheads who oppose any audio they can't understand or measure, have the -opposite- problem. Not knowing the technical stuff gets in the way of their enjoyment. I suppose I'm more of a moderate mix of these two extremes. I don't mind knowing how something works, but I won't allow anything to get in my way of its enjoyment.
