That is an interesting thoughts provoking question
that have a lot of reflection in audio: do all good cooks all have equivalent
equipment? Ironically I would answer this question to myself: yes and no. A
great cook would take very ordinary or even very mediocre ingredients and would
make a great meal that would make you to wonder how it was possible? At the same time a great cook in order to accomplish
his/her ultimate greatness would use very special ingredients, frequently those
that ordinary people have no common access. The derivative question in audio would be: if an audio cook has some very evolve and very narrow objectives then can a person to go there with "Best Buy" ingredients? (for foreigners: "Best Buy" is US mass-market audio store) |
