"There have been many occasions where I've bitten my tongue when presented with someone's precious and expensive cacophony of noise." Very funny!
I have made it a policy never, ever to critique anyone's system unless I have been presented with sufficient knowledge that I won't be hurting the guy's feelings. But he has to initiate that procedure.
The worst stuff I hear always involves digital edge. When such is present I find it difficult to continue, as nothing one can do equipment-wise will fix it -- unless one is carrying along new gear to insert. Nothing, except tweaking, anyway, and many 'philes are unable to accept that treating the disc may solve that edginess.
But when the source is clean, I can uncritically accept and enjoy the many variations in presentation that I encounter.
