If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly upgrading your gear and spending several stacks of thousands of dollars…

But what if our picture of endgame doesn’t exist? In other words, we are chasing a certain quality that doesn’t exist?

    Recordings vary greatly in how they are mixed, equalized and mastered.

    It doesn’t matter how much money you spend. However you configure your system, some music may sound sublime, while others are lacking. Most of us “split the difference” and settle on a system which does a fairly good job on most of the music we listen to often. We may add some tonal adjustments when necessary if we aren’t too much a purist.

    One solution that can help (if you have the space for it) is to have several kinds of speakers and electronics, choosing whatever best complements the music they are listening to at the moment. I think this approach is a better use of money than attempting to find the holy grail that does it all.
