Transport Question

Telling newbies they cannot, of all things, depend upon their own ears is supposed to help them? 

the sensory denial politburo tends to prey on the naive..

They either can't hear it or they can't afford it, which is all they need to decry it.

more likely won‘t hear it I would think..

Most here I think would know how critically important mechanical vibration and quality isolation is to the sound quality of audio gear.

Just this aspect alone should show that all related equipment including transports will vary in sound reproduction.
