> Normal audiophiles will typically aim for objective metrics like THD, but the extreme guys are often aiming for subjective/vague things like timbre, color and soundstage.

They should probably be using $200 equalizers to get that, not buying $10000 components where more than half of them couldn't possibly change the sound.

What I find interesting is that equalization seems to be looked down on among a lot of audiophiles. If you don't like how your $2000 amplifier is voiced, get a different one instead of dropping a cheap equalizer inline.
