I came across this in Mullard Circuits for Audio Amplifiers, 2nd Edition, March 1962:

"There is no theoretical method of deducing the best layout for audio equipment. It has to be found experimentally, and it follows that the effect of any deviations from an established arrangement cannot be predicted."​

(Thanks @Jon Snell for reminding me about this book, which I had seen referenced but never read before.)

Anyone else have a pithy sentence or two they'd like to post? Please include a source if you post something.
