    I do the same, as it happens, so I won’t argue with you.

    As for “why care?”, I’d say it’s about making informed decisions and not spending money unnecessarily in the pursuit of genuinely better sound quality.

      Yeah, I don’t get too deep into that game. I do have some higher-ish quality headphones and speakers though. I also find that subs are largely underrated by audio snobs.
