Is *accuracy* THE factor behind buying audio equipment? Not for
everyone.


for audiophiles, it should be the main factor.


Such sweeping generalizations are naive. You've overlooked other
factors which are arguably more important, namely cost, personal
preference, functionality and practicality. Last I heard there was no
explicit line drawn in the sand regarding TECHNICAL fidelity to be a
member of the audiophile fraternity. Just an interest in pursuing high
quality reproduction..

To make a fine distinction, some people go for what they
*perceive* as being more accurate.


sure, but sometimes perception doesn't reflect what is actually going on.


To some people SS amplification doesn't sound as realistic as a decent
valve setup.


**Such a comment is a niave, sweeping generalisation.

Do you deny people their real-world perceptions??


**I do, because such a comment is a niave, sweeping generalisation.

I think
you should cut folk some slack.. it's subjective.


**That depends.
