Hello Srajan, Juan beat me to it about Lieutenant. It really sounds like a wonderful speaker and for a fair price considering. My question now is whether you factor in 'unobtainium' when you consider what to own? After all, reviewers whose systems consist of stuff nobody except them has ever heard work a bit outside the lines of relevance. Readers can't ever triangulate. On that score, your Audio Physic makes for a very relatable reference. Neither of the Aurai would. So when it comes down to it, do you vote on behalf of your readers or your personal preference? It's not a trick question. I'm really just curious how someone in your position weighs these things. Keep up the good work. Paul Wozniak
Excellent question indeed. Yes I do weigh these things. I also weigh price because, as you put it, I want to remain more relatable than some of the reviewers with 6-figure systems (not to say that I could afford those). The way I look at it today—so about 20 years in from doing this gig—is that I've now paid my dues. So if/when the final decision is really down to just personal preference vs. easy reader triangulation, I'm far more apt to go with me, myself and I. In the end, I do this both for a living and because it's my hobby so both sides of the equation have to balance out. Srajan
