What makes a good piece of audio gear ?

Is is the design ? If so how many possible designs are there for say an amp ?
Is it the materials used ?
What else am i missing ?
Are new designs even possible anymore ?
Will the future bring better gear ?
Something that is eye catching / Fancy looking will make one envision how nice the sound must be . Obviously that is not the case ,but it brings the mind there .
Let's take asthetics out . Envision all gear used the same exact box to house the gear . Only the sound would make are decisions on what to buy . Do you think the most expensive ones show through ?

any good places to learn how amps and preamps work . I would like to learn
what all the wires and parts do to change the sound.I am off work for a few
months and would like to get some understanding . These questions came
forefront after purchasing a Dodd audio preamp . Many reviews saying you
would have to spend 10k to better the sound . I guess one way the price is low is
because he is a one man operation with i assume no overhead . does not
advertise but his equipment is in magazines when they show audio show rooms
.ect...
