SuperDave.......I appreciate your comments. All I really want to do is listen to great musical performances in my home with a level of accuracy and vitality that approaches in some way the original performance. The machines we use to get there are just the bitter pill we endure to recreate the thrill and excitement we strive to reproduce. Splitting hairs about one component or another, the media type, digital versus vinyl, streaming versus spinning, downloads versus physical media, on and on, gets boring for me. The joy I find in all of this is the music, not the mechanics. Sure, it's great fun to discuss audio components, their design, their sound, and their value. We are all gear-heads to one degree or another. The aesthetics of equipment and pride of ownership also play a big part in our excitement and willingness to assemble great sound systems. Our egos fuel the quest as well. Ultimately though, it is the perfection of reproduced music that we seek. Sometimes it is all too easy to lose sight of that mindset.
