    Is the only true reference in audio to compare your system to the original mastering system?

    There is always talk about reference this and that and a manufacture comes out with their latest reference component, but what really is this "reference" thing? If we take it as a system or as a component, what is a "reference"? And how do we "measure" it if we decided what it actually was?
