Yes....like motorcycles and motorcyclists when they gather, "You run what you brung."
Remember? We used to listen and be happy with equipment that now we'd equate with paper cups and string for communication.
One could sniff and laugh at what I listen to. Others might look at it as more on the order of 'test equipment', which is how I relate to it of late. Not 'flawless', to be sure, but 'suitable' and 'enough' for my ears and budget.
Chase the light at the end of the tunnel if it suits you. After a time, the zeros behind the decimal point will not be discernible anymore. I reached that point awhile ago; now I simply amuse myself and not be concerned with reading reviews and reactions of those who get paid to do so and have the privilege of being able to do so.
I could be crass and relate certain levels of our hobby's extremism to more *ahem* 'personal pursuits*, but people buy Lamborghini's and Bugatti's, yachts, private aircraft, and luxury homes as well....
Not my level, not my thing...
