Assuming something is only as good as the weakest link in the chain, if the pro gear used to make recordings is in fact inherently inferior, then it follows that we are all screwed. Any attempt to make things better during playback is pure folly. At best, you can’t make it any better during playback than it is when recorded. So we all might as well just buy all pro gear and put lipstick on it to make it look nice at home.
So a lot of what audiophiles fret about is in fact pure nonsense. It’s all in the mind and each will dress up the pig as they see fit.

PS I would love to have a pair of Cornwalls in case anyone wants to just throw in the towel and give their’s away. 😉
