Is Audio nirvana real?

OK, my entire system weighs 10 ounces. No power cords, no interconnects, no tubes, no fuses, no house AC, no AC ground, no transformer, no speaker cables, no speakers. I barely have any equipment to speak of. So, suddenly I’m the bad guy? What’s up with that?

By eliminating power cords, ICs, speaker cables, crossovers, house AC, ground, transformers, fuses, etc. one realizes significant reductions in distortion and noise. In terms of sound quality as I’ve mentioned previously my portable cassette player outperforms my portable CD player in certain important areas, especially Musicality.
