Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment.


Is it really possible to critically estimate tt or cartridge characteristics using for example cheap monitor speakers or other weak component in the system ?

Holy water don't fix ground loops....or much else.

I'll stand with @mijostyn....once you know 'flat', one can build from that to one's' taste....

And digital and analog is blurring a lot of late...where does one end and the other begin to effect the whole?

Well, I am talking about acoustic live music. Electrified concerts are frequently terrible sounding… you are listening to an audio system in a location of terrible acoustics. I stopped going to concerts like that twenty years ago. Live music needs to be classical or acoustical jazz or your more likely to do better at home.
