I think that the HE audio Industry as a whole as wandered off the path and gotten lost in the woods.
How can we have an intelligent discourse about the sound of music reproduced in our homes without any rules and standards.
If the magazines and reviewers all have different criteria, different sources, different musical choices and for the most part don't even compare and listen to each others work what does this all mean?
I think we need to make some hard choices and to define what it is we are truly seeking.
I realize that there are many compromises and we will probably never get to the promised land but the way it is being done now just doesn't work.
I think that all of us need to develop some goals and map to attempt to get there.
For example
1) a definition of what the absolute sound is . This is singular not three choices like one popular site suggests. I still believe in the definition stated by HP many years ago.
2) tools- like a group of selections of music that will help us all converse on the same topic.
I am sure there are others but this is just my way of opening the discussion
