Nothing wrong with following along or "copying" "good ideas", as long as the seeker already has an internal "reference" that serves as a sort of navigation system or gyroscope that allows for inevitable "gaps" and differences of one stripe or another. The real "problem", again, is that at some point it becomes pretty lonely, at least in terms of what actually "works" in a given situation. By this I do not mean to ignore or impugn audio fellowship, rather I mean to say, at "the level of this site" people have either "been there and done that" or they must simply (somehow) grasp that "finding the best stuff" is relative - and personal - enough to just about make the notion laughable. And when that happens, the tether to the "industry" is loosed and the seeker is pretty much on his/her own.
Back up the thread, a while back, I remember listening to the ESD presentation and recognizing immediately that the music selection alone means that anything "good" about the system is an accident, not just despite the "tech talk" but also because of the way they attempt to "build on it", to "make a case" for their system that way. Well, make some significant Music with the system, and let's reverse engineer it from there. Basically, feel free to be "wrong" if you get great results, but prepare for skepticism if the theories don't produce great results. Sure, someone can insist that bad results are good (just listen to Trump...); but good luck with that at this particular website.
