ignore budget considerations, use only sonic for the below answers.
Case Study 1
If you are a digital only guy, and you realize TTs and tape decks are playing midrange, or whatever you give sonic weight to, better (for you) than your digital. This requires you to rearrange some elements in the chain. Should you shift
Case Study 2
If you have FR 64s and Koetsu, and realize you prefer the sound of vdh on SME. You then realize Koetsu does not work well on SME, and vdh does not work well on FR 64. You rate FR 64 higher as arm, but prefer overall the SME+VDH combo. Should you shift?
Case study 3
You have a speaker that works well with Krell. You realize 300b amps sound bad on your speaker, but can drive another speaker, and the midrange, weight (or whatever attributes you favor) of that combo is much better than Krell with your speaker. Should you shift?
Hint: Answer is always yes
Which is why it is better to listen to Kondo Gakuon on another suitable speaker rather than Pendragons.
