Anyone who has ever assembled a good working hi fi system is no doubt
aware that such system involves many moving parts. In addition to that,
there are seemingly endless combinations, recombinations and
permutations of various components, audio accessories, room treatments
etc. Given such an

Gotcha. What variability, then, makes a noteworthy difference in your
opinion?

I'm not a fan, although their second album was a marked improvement

Perhaps to all of us. But the mistake many audiophiles make is to

A substantial part of the problem with choosing and configuring
equipment for the reproduction of music is there are no standards on
