RE: And SS (99.99% of them) = which ugly colouration can you stomach?

Well some folks would call that puritanical, I'm sure. There was a time when I would have!

The best way to go about this, says this know-it-all, is very hard for most folks. Get hold of one of the least colored among the most respected pieces of gear, listen to it and to nothing else for a week or so, then go back to your reference. What may happen is that you will hear what's "wrong" or "incorrect" or "whatever" about your reference gear. It'll take at least a week because the new piece of gear will start out sounding wrong....in relation what you've taken for right. Then, IF the new piece of gear truly is less colored, it will stop sounding wrong and just sound pretty much like the music you're listening to. And then when you switch back...well as I said!
