Looking this up on Qobuz now, haven done DooWop in a while. Thanks for the reminder.
I took you up on the endorsement and it is playing in the background. I plan to segue to some StrayCats, afterwards.Looking this up on Qobuz now, haven done DooWop in a while. Thanks for the reminder.

Decades of work in various outlets for recorded music, also different sorts of radio DJ-ing.

If anything, I have always called myself an audio enthusiast instead of "audiophile"

I always say I'm a audio snob and read a follow a lot of stuff on the internet. Same thing about my TV watching, I only watch, sports, science and how to shows. I find that being honest helps people probe more into the truth and know what I'm into.
Yet music is sometimes purposely recorded with distortion, and listened to on vinyl.
Is the answer 'all the time'?

200 on a Grinder ? Where at , Cheetahs ?Wine price goes the same way anything goes - whatever the producer can get away with.
As a coffee drinker, I'm probably among the worst you'll meet. I don't even look at the price of my fancy beans, only the date they're roasted... and I will uncritically recommend that people spend $200+ on a grinder.

Judgment of Paris (wine) - Wikipedia
A similar test was done between state-of-the-art modern violins and Stradivari...

I stumbled across a wine on sale at the grocery store. I was a brand from a vineyard we had visited. It was wonderful. I went running back for more, and the whole display was empty. I think it was about $8 a bottle. In general I buy box-o-wine. Costco has its own vineyard in France, and their stuff is very good.Judgment of Paris (wine) - Wikipedia

How I would love to slip Costco box wine in a Chateau Rothschild bottle to French wine snobs!
[Edit: but that would be expensive...

Right - and that is part of the creative process. And is what the artist wants us to hear.
Our audio gear isnm't part of the creative process. It should present the recorded music to us unchanged - including not changing the deliberately added distortion. Any "changes to taste" (such as tone controls, or eq) should be controllable, and defeatable.
That is a whole other topic - and I could point you to a whole other thread about it.

In a very non-scientific and very heuristic way, to me the difference in reviews is quite easy.
A Darko or Gutemberg review gives me no idea how a Godflesh or Napalm Death record will sound with some particular speakers, while a review from Amir, will allow me to figure out a bit of how will the same record (let's say Fear, Emptiness, Despair) will sound.
Too bar I don't listen to audiophile music.
