I'm with Gunbei. How sound makes me feel is a big part of what makes listening time satisfying for me. I am required to think for most of the day. If my system is making me think about sound, it isn't doing what I've chosen to pay so much to accomplish, i.e. to feel fulfillment and enjoyment. So, I listen to how I'm feeling. Good feeling, good component, bad feeling, bad component -- for me. Same for tweaks.

Feelings might be even more subjective than ears, so I'm rarely surprised anymore that there is so much variance in opinions about which toys sound good and which don't. All the arguing, though, what's that about? Boy, if someone's flying off the handle all the time, do you think I'd be wise to check out their favorite components? :-)
