I think, I mentioned it before, if your system works (for you) you listen to music ONLY, MOSTLY anyway, and all this definition stuff feels more and more like mind-fucking, that takes you away from the real thing -- the music, what it's all about.

Well, you might feel it this way only if you do not cook music/sound of your own. If you go to a nice restaurant have very good food and you are just a visitor then you could state that it is only about taste and you will be right.

I do not feel any conflict between knowing how a car works and loving to experience joy from ride. In fact, I think both of the fields are very complementary…
