High end audio is like art......no one sees it the same. Quarter mile drag racing is a science. There are only 6 factors that get you down the quarter mile the fastest and quickest:.....weight, drag, traction, horsepower and gearing.....and then there is the driver. That is it. In subjective audio hot rodding there is an infinite number of things that change the sound. This is why no audiophile does their system like anyone else. It is an individual sport. "What I like to hear and what I think makes a difference to what I want to hear and experience....is what I want/believe and do." Some people who experiment a lot and are perfectionists know that everything you do makes a difference.....including amp stands. But who says you have to play there? No one.....we are all doing our own dance. Look at the dragsters......they are almost identical....because everyone knows its just those 5 factors and the driver. There is an infinite number of changes you can do to an audio system that are not measurable....not at all.....but you can hear them. This is one reason why most audiophiles limit their intake of info and things to try. You either have to be seriously rich or want to fool around all the time and try everything (which is impossible, anyway).
