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?

    Yeah. Ultimately, when you have almost completely flat response, no harmonic distortion, accurate group delay, and small enough room reverb time, you’ve basically achieved sound perfection.

    A sound system like that ultimately doesn’t sound like anything. It just sounds like whatever you play back on it, rendering it accurately. It is time to stop and just focus on the music at that point.

    In principle you can hear everything that is going on in the music at that point. There is nothing left to discover other than what you already hear.
