What does it take to have a revealing system?

Get a decent pair of headphones and a suitable amp.

There is no more practical way to reveal what is in the music.

Just remember, the information on that lp or cd was not put there by God.

A lack of modesty.

There is always some weak link in a system to some degree. There is a loss of sometimes 25% to 50% of the original event due to losses in the recording limitations we have today. This according to a friend in the recording industry. Thus, do not be overly concerned with "revealing" but with musical and whether you continue want to listen to music. That is the test.
