They have their place, and I don't mind some of them.

But something is amiss. Too many components long term
will give satisfaction that others supposedly sounding the

are less enjoyable to listen to long term. I have read all the
arguments about why this is so, and don't with to go thru it

Those touting the dbt route as the only rational route to take
consider there is nothing real to investigate otherwise.

Please don't erect a strawman, if you really want a genuine discussion.
No one said that the "dbt route is the only rational route to consider".

You can say you like a certain cable or a certain amp for whatever
reason. Accuracy is not the only factor in choosing equipment.

What I really don't understand is that there are many places where
subjectivity is the rule. Why try to make this newsgroup another one?

Yet some of the better of that equipment seems to satisfy in ways the
supposedly accurate just as good equipment often doesn't.

Have you heard of "euphonic distortion"?

And currently any meaningful discussion about that is not

they were pointed out by other posters.
