Excellent KIH article #74! Measurements simply don't reflect the enjoyment of a piece or indeed the synergy of a system! Reminds me of when I was younger, first getting into sound systems by just looking at specs: watts, distortion, wow and flutter etc. to match some recommended 'ideal' (e.g. lower is always better or the reverse) that had no bearing (correlation but not causation?) on sound quality. Like you said, more power to those who want/can match their requirements to their purchases, it’s their choice! But not for me. I’m surprised by how good my (new to me) Auralic Vega sounds through my Almarro A318b and DeVore Nines. It’s not supposed to! Thanks, Ron
Looks like you found a rule breaker. Happy days! Srajan
