OMG, audiophilia is soooo much harder than designing a kitchen.
There are so many more dimensions to high end audio… it is about nuances of perception, subtle values, marketing hype versus reality, system synergy, dozens of sonic variables, performance as well as geometry and aesthetics.
We, redesigned out kitchen a couple years ago. Piece of cake… equivalent effort to choosing a new interconnect.
I have put thousands of hours into building audio systems over fifty years. I know a fair amount. I put 80 hours into redesigning a kitchen and choosing all the finishes and components… turned out very very well.
