What price detail?

"We've never had it so good", exclaimed one of our esteemed members about 2 years ago. I personally don't fully subscribe to that notion. Some modern amps I heard have fallen below the sonic plimsoll line.

Are we trying to extract too much for very little?

They aren't mutually exclusive - well designed gear will deliver both.

Detail for me, although I'm not sure what you mean by character.

Quite right. The title seems to be invting the comment that one would sell ones soul (or at least the music's soul) for detail.

You want the character, ambience and detail of the original performance. Without them HiFi isn't HiFi.

And sadly, you'll never get it. You might get a close representation but that's it. Nice post right enough though. :)

Yep I give that the thumbs up . . . plus 'carefully matched gear' is important and it don't have to cost the earth either.
