The main difference is that these "audiophiles" are all looking for the same
thing; accurate reproduction. They're using $1,200 interconnect cables where
the original recording used Belden mic cables with Switchcraft connectors.
Silliness, in my opinion.

A synthesizer is a musical instrument. Various components affect the
performance, thereby giving character to a particular brand or model. There
is no "right" way a synthesizer should sound.
