OK, maybe it needs a bit more detail ,or say perspective as regards to this audio-cooking effort. NO QUESTION, we first have to look after the object before we joy-ride, or joye-feast, oh yes!
I mentioned quality and caring somewhere just a short while ago, and how tools/objects may acquire 'soul'...
If I talk about 0.1 bar tire pressure differential, it is EQUAL to moving my head 5cm this or that way... that's mind-fucking to me, period.
And it is this kill-joy that is OFTEN practiced by some audio-friends that just now missed this french-horn in the second last row clearing his spit-valve.
That's NOT what I come for when I want to hear e.g. Bartok's Concerto For Orchestra  (which I have done just now - by myself).
I have been training as a chef (I couldn't take it...) but I do know ALL about 'Hell's Kitchen', and can appreciate it --- no mind-fucking in this effort
AT ALL, but KNOWING, UNDERSTANDING, EXECUTING, with best possible effectiveness. QUALITY performance, oh yes.
But NOT mind-fucking just another word for BS as far as my vocabulary is concerned. Maybe HvK was giving his Berliner's a tough time so
I can enjoy his Beethoven reditions, that does not mean I want to listen to it on a Transistor-radio - it at all possible :-)
