Are there any absolute truths???


Whenever I ask an audio question it seems the answer always starts out with "Well...it depends". So I'm wondering if there are any audiophile "absolute truths" that we all can file away as great advice and use confidently over and over again. Just to get it started, I'll offer up the following and see how long they hold up before they get shot down.

Audiophile Absolute Truths:

#1. The quality of the stereo system is what the owner says it is, not someone else.

#2. System synergy is more important than anything else.

Both humorous and serious replies are welcome.

Well said, Albert. Don't overlook other possibilities in that last thirty minutes before the visitor arrives:

1. A ground loop hum will appear when you've never had one before.

2. The visitor will bring a crying infant and/or a three year old curtain climber with inquisitive fingers.

3. The furnace blower will develop a rumble and the day will be far too cold to do without heat.

4. Worst of all, the distinguished visitor will be totally unimpressed.
