I am surprised this quote isn't constantly made in relation to hi-fi, but it seems rather apt to me.

“The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed.”

—Robert Pirsig

I think it's probably just my age that fools people into thinking I'm a grown-up.

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard P. Feynman
