I was living with Boses and I thought they were the cat's ass. Then I moved to v2 and knew that Bose was an ugly mirage. Then the move to v4 caused me to question reality. Now I question everything in audio including my AC outlet!

I want practically good sound - not hardware to show off. So, like some other engineers, I need to know what specs lead to practically good sound and no more. And then I need the data that those specs are being met. Or at least I want to know what I am giving up and how much difference that makes.

As my son is finding out, it's either a joy or it sucks to be an engineer depending on your point of view. Nature, and our role in it, looks different to some of us engineers. smile
