Is your 10 ounce system your audio nirvana? Yes or no?

By eliminating power cords, ICs, speaker cables, crossovers, house AC, ground, transformers, fuses, etc. one realizes significant reductions in distortion and noise. In terms of sound quality as I’ve mentioned previously my portable cassette player outperforms my portable CD player in certain important areas, especially Musicality.

I'll vote Yes, map, geo....it's all very personal, after all is said 'n done....

Likely the only improvement would be for it to be surgically implanted and run from body heat.  Control would be an issue for awhile, but given the pace of tech some format would win the day.  Upgrades might be a bitch, but one must suffer Something in some way to 'improve' on Nirvana.

Besides, it couldn't be any worse than what some suffer now, what with cables, power cords, equipment types and designs, speakers and their inherent room placement/treatment, turntables, carts, DACs, on and on, anon....

I can see it now....

BorgAudio.  You ARE the System. ;)

Yes, it is real. But to get there, don't focus on getting systems that are accurate, have great imaging, or the various other characteristics that audiophools strive for. Search for a system that is MUSICAL above all else.  Only then will you reach that nirvana. This is a discovery I've made after many years of searching without not knowing what to look for.

Yeah right...geez...
