Too much tech in Hi-Fi these days.

In the old days stuff had to pass the listening test, these days, if the test gear says it's accurate...it must be...

I don't like auto-exposure cameras either. Never liked letting a machine do my thinking...

Listening with no tech doesn't impress me much...on the net are tons of glowing posts about abominable speakers...

Life is a balance...all the knowledge is no good without good instincts on how and when...OTOH instinct alone only goes so far..
