The Law of Accelerating Returns

I totally agree this letter from the editor of A-S.

It makes sense if you have a $10,000 high quality integrated and stick a   $500.00 TT with a $300 phono section, a $400,00 Topping DAC and stream through your phone you will never know the real potential of the $10K integrated. And don't get me going on speakers. 

This article makes total sense but one must live within their means. 

No you do not have to spend a left lung for great sound but it all needs to be balanced.

I've never forgiven them for their 4-part series on digital audio where they reported the original file on the hard drive sounded better than a copy on the hard drive.   
 

I have noticed many things in digital audio That doesn’t make sense but nevertheless are audible.  A file played off my hardware raid sound better than the same file copied onto my software raid.  And Jriver is set to memory play.  Makes no sense but it’s there.
