What do you think about this statement

It is not about brand preference as much as individual preferences. I there was one clear best that would be the only brand in existence. Look at just about any other products. Cars, clothes, beer, I naturally have my preferences. As do you. Of course if we lived in France we would prefer white wine and Citroens. In Russia it would be vodka and Lada's

So, if I said I prefer an all JVC/Bose system to an VAC/Von Schweikert system, y'all would just chaulk that up to personal preferences?

If someone said that to me, I would be thinking; they must have a tin ear. Because, the VAC/VSA combo is clearly a higher fidelity system.

I think to some degree we all know which gear sucks, is OK and is great. And I don't think it's wrong or not PC to call that out if wee see it and not just gloss over decisions as, "Oh, it's just personal preference. There's no good or bad gear."

I try and word my statements carefully. I generally include something like: "to my ears" in statements I make when comparing. I have heard gear by many high end manufacturers that is not the sound I am looking for. Heck, I have even owned gear in the past myself that I would no longer enjoy. People who make definite statements like this are simply ignorant. Now, go enjoy the music.

I'd say that's his opinion.

What's his favorite flavor of ice cream?
