@mapman: “The mystery of high end audio is way more mysterious than that of music.”
This is like saying the functionality of a Cuisinart is more “mysterious” than the experience eating amazingly good food provides.
a) the experience of enjoying listening to music
b) the experience of enjoying listening to good equipment
These two things are not alike, and to say b) is “way more mysterious” than a), frankly, boggles my mind.
