what is the "best sounding" component ?
frequently a question is asked regarding the "best preamp", the "best cd player under $4000", the "best midrange", etc. . obviously the poser of such a question wants input to assist in a purchasing decision.
only the person who asks the question can answer the question. what is best varies from audiophile to audiophile. it usually depends upon the criteria one uses to evaluate performance.
it is often an ambiguous term, as no one specifies what is "the best sound".
if standards for determining what "best" is are specified than one can render an educated opinion.
i suggest that in the future, when one asks for ideas regarding the "best sounding speaker under $1000", for example, the poser of the question indicate his/her criteria of sonic excellence.
i suppose one could start a thread asking for ideas as to what constitutes the "best" in audio, but i think this would be redundant.
