@Ed Selley do you think this system walks the line more of technical brilliance or pure musicality?
Reading between the lines (and probably generalising significantly) there seem to be broadly two camps where 'perfect' hifi is concerned. Those that strive for technical perfection (often represented by measurements that 'prove' it) and those that focus on the more subjective world seeking 'musicality' above all else.
The former camp seem to be heading for the likes of Class D amps, super high resolution delta sigma DACs and so on. The latter tending more towards vinyl, valves and NOS digital conversion.
Many attempt to suggest that the perfect system manages to hit the sweet spot between the two, but the more I listen and the more I read, it still feels like high-end hifi has to come down on one side or the other, the theory being that perfect measurements rarely translate to ultimate musicality.
Do you think this system lends more towards one or the other, or are we really taking about the sweet spot here?
