What do you think about this statement

I met someone at a party and we starting talking about music. He said he owned all Naim gear and he loved it. I told him I had all ARC gear. He said he used to own ARC but once he listened to name gear he sold all his ARC stuff. He said that Naim gear was more musically involving than ARC gear. I have only heard name gear one time at a show. I thought it sounded very good. I'd like to hear Opinions from people that are familiar with both brands.

It is not about brand preference as much as individual preferences. I there was one clear best that would be the only brand in existence. Look at just about any other products. Cars, clothes, beer, I naturally have my preferences. As do you. Of course if we lived in France we would prefer white wine and Citroens. In Russia it would be vodka and Lada's

So, if I said I prefer an all JVC/Bose system to an VAC/Von Schweikert system, y'all would just chaulk that up to personal preferences?

If someone said that to me, I would be thinking; they must have a tin ear. Because, the VAC/VSA combo is clearly a higher fidelity system.

I think to some degree we all know which gear sucks, is OK and is great. And I don't think it's wrong or not PC to call that out if wee see it and not just gloss over decisions as, "Oh, it's just personal preference. There's no good or bad gear."
