Which studios?

Many "Audiophiles" and other fell that Consumer gear is better than Pro gear, DAC's, CPD's, cables and the like....

My question is how can studios use inferior products and produce a CD and Audiophiles can use High End consumer gear and get stellar music.

The studios which produce consistently good quality recordings aren't Behringer and similar junk. For example, Polyhymnia uses custom mic pre-amps, van den Hul cables, Meitner A/D converters, a Pyramix editing station, and B&W speakers. Telarc uses MIT cables, Meitner converters, a Sonoma editing station, Millennia mic pre-amps, and at least used to monitor with Threshold class A amps and Waveform speakers. Water Lily uses custom all-tube stuff. Chesky also uses custom tube stuff and their own speakers.

It stands to reason junk in junk out, so how can a studio use inferior gear and record junk and someone at home get something more than junk.

Thats like pressing grapes to get MD 20/20 and someone doing something at home and ending up with a fine $100+ bottle of wine....how can this be?????

Who is claiming this happens? Most audiophiles will tell you that a good system can't make up for a bad recording.
