If high end audio was $10 and match box sized


If everyone had the same perfect sound quality via a cheap small box that sat on the shelf that somehow streamed, amplified, and emitted stereo sound to your ears, would you prefer it that way or do you love having an imperfect system and enjoy the chase and tweaking.

Interesting question. I need to think about it.

How would folks answer this question:

If you had a magic replicator (like the one on Star Trek) would you stop cooking your food and simply ask the computer for whatever you wanted?

Most of us hate to cook all the time and we don’t like doing the dishes, but would we want all that to be gone?

Your question is really interesting because it presumes that we need to recapture the time we spend on our gear. But what would we do with that extra time? My guess is we’d probably just waste it.

It also presumes that those of us who struggled and achieved something with our systems -- the knowledge and experience we gained -- are things we don't prize for their own sake. But I'm glad to have gotten that education. It's something I'm proud of.

The journey, man, the journey.
Only if it had a couple of tubes to roll resulting in my own personal perfect sound, which is better than your perfect sound.  ;-)

Why choose Perfect when we already can  have Imperfect?? Just get a Magic Wand!
I want a teleporter that beams music groups from the past into my listening environment. Can you imagine this fine lady showing up with her trio for your evening enjoyment??
