You missed out mine :- "Anglican - firmly committed to picking and choosing between the best and sexiest bits of all the options on offer"

As a (sometime) scientist, I in the end had to come down on the "Objectivist" side of the fence, but there is a stong subjectivist element too, in that listening is the final arbiter. I think tweaks can make some difference (otherwise I wouldn't have bought the Isolda speaker cable and Trichord block), but decent engineering of the main components reduces their effect (current system is far less susceptible than previous systems). Very nearly came down on the subjectivist side though as I've really not been arsed to do any of the objectivist stuff that I think is right!
