PTSS is moving in the right direction with the acknowledgement that to get better sound you have to 'do things' to get there. After being in this hobby for 45+ years I've grown to appreciate how valuable 'patient tweaking' can be whether analog or digital. Audio Nirvana is quite possible with multiple paths to the summit of the same mountain. I think the 'golden age' for audiophiles is right now for those who are willing to invest in quality equipment and then get the very most from it by optimizing as many of the variables as possible.
