What's It All About?

I've given this much thought and finally come to a conclusion.  This whole audiophile system building "hobby" is exactly like designing and having built a high end kitchen.  Some people get the basic triangle right and then everything just flows.  Other people get hung up on the backsplash tile and cabinet knobs and probably remodel within five years.

Maybe it's not what's it all about, but then neither is the hokey pokey.

Manufacturers are genius. They've managed to convince the gullible that this is a "hobby" and therefore they should keep pouring money into it. Best. Scheme. Ever.

"PERFECT sound"

I think we all agree that means; Sound with the minimum of compromises according to our tastes.

I don't understand what perfect sound is.  Is it related to music?

Different homes have different kitchens and they can be used differently.  Same thing with audio systems.  But in both cases if you get the core elements right, you'll keep it long term and ignore some of the trends that come and go.  It doesn't have to be complicated, just well thought out.
