The most important things are recording, room acoustics, loudspeakers. The effective SQ of a good recording on my Roberts kitchen system far exceeds that of a poor recording on my main system. You can't un-brick wall a brick walled remaster etc. In this sense "source first" is correct. It's just that variation between recordings utterly dwarfs any differences between well-engineered digital front ends. It's probably well worth spending effort, time and money on seeking out better masters of your favourite recordings. Darren
