The other day a friend said to me "Well, I'm not an audiophile like you . . .", referring to the mini system he played his music on.
This got me thinking, because I don't think I'm an audiophile - more a music lover who likes good quality sound. I have (a very healthy) cynicism of the claims made by high-end equipment manufacturers, and read Hi-Fi+ for it's amusement value. Yet I do have a good turntable, a phono stage, DAC etc plus of course an SB3. My friend suggested this test: In a mythical Blade Runner-type future you have a stark choice - 1) Have a hi-fi system to die for, but only be allowed to play music on it you currently hate. or 2) Be restricted to a compressed and bandwith limited portable-type player, but able to play all your favourite music. I know which I'd go for, but what would you do . . .?
