Most differences that some audiophiles gush over are really quite minor or maybe even psychological.
Do you mean for high end gear? Or any? I hear (or imagine to hear :) ) profound differences with amplifiers.
Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
I have heard a lot of opinions about high end gear on the forums but a lot of it comes from folks that don’t own it. They bash it because of the price. Which I understand on one end but many don’t own, haven’t long demoed or even heard a lot of higher end gear thoughts? Please no personal bashing just your opinion?
