WORDS WE CHOOSE

 Excellent sound should invite attention, not demand endurance.  Price is not holiness.  The person controlling sound and light controls part of everyone else's environment. That is a responsibility.  A quiet room is different from a sound-meditation room. Less stimulation should be genuinely available.

Play the same short recording through two reasonably matched playback systems. Do not announce which one is "better." Notice clarity, placement, texture, comfort, and what changes when the room or listening position changes.
