What's It All About?

I was thinking about how designing a kitchen was similar to putting together a system.  It's an imperfect analogy, but some got it and others didn't.  Both can be done without too much effort, but a minority of people can become fixated on the details.  In both cases for the end user these minute elements can reach enormous importance.

But then again, why should I even know where the kitchen is?  As long as the servants know how to find it, should I even care?  What's the audiophile analogue of that?

I have a speaker in my kitchen so can do both simultaneously.

Some folks will jump on the “Trendy bus”, only to replace everything when some other trend comes up. Others will stay where they are until what they have is fashionable again.
