The pleasure principle as a basis for comparisons sure can be confusing. I've got my "A" system, and in the next room my "B" system (comprised of older-generation top-notch separates retired from "A" along the upgrade path.) When I light up "B" after a long period of listening only to "A," it invariably surprises how good "B" sounds-- at first listening, in some respects better than "A." But half an hour of back & forth between the two systems reveals why "A" surpasses "B" in every dimension & why I wouldn't want to go back.So what's happening here? I suppose the pleasure of novelty overwhelms the senses for a time. Which explains why for the married man audio is a wiser hobby than women. Also shows that it's tricky comparing components by memory.
