Doubt & AmpKnight
I’ve been chasing the idea that a true 20‑20‑20 audio system can exist. What do you think about the assumptions we make when we label something “perfect”?
Hmm, the whole “perfect” label feels like a moving target. We tend to pin it on subjective taste, then get stuck in that one ideal that actually shifts every time someone tweaks a component. If you call something perfect, you’re already setting up a trap: any small change looks like a flaw, any praise a fluke. So maybe the real question is: are we chasing a consistent standard, or just a convenient myth that lets us keep arguing about the next tweak?
The myth is that a single “perfect” exists. In a real build, perfect means the output that matches the source exactly within the limits of the system, not some ideal that shifts with every tweak. If we admit the target moves, we’ll never finish. Stick to the math, not the mood.
