They chase numbers because numbers is the only thing you can unambiguously compare. The model for evaluating feedback equipment ought to be musical instruments: that it is not perhaps tells us that most of the time audio equipment is not used to reproduce music.
There is also here surely a fetishization of technology that does not make sense even technically. What could possibly be the rationale for optocoupled variable resistors in the volume control? The noise of the two devices will inevitably sum, and to argue that avoiding a contact makes that necessary means you could avoid it by soldering one connection further up the chain.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
