If You And I Disagree About Audio, Who’s Right?

I am an audio expert. I’ve been in and around our hobby for so long that a person born on the day that I became an audiophile could now legally collect Social Security benefits. Since the mid-1950s, when I first got started, I’ve seen our hobby grow and change – from tubes to transistors and back; from point-to-point wiring to printed circuits, to chips and ICs; from mono to stereo, and on to (a never very popular attempt at) multi-channel; from analog to digital (and back to analog again, at the extreme high end); from horn speakers, to cones, to ribbons, to electrostatics; to any kind or combination of drivers and enclosures you can think of.
