Calibration.

If you don't regularly listen to acoustic instruments in good spaces you have nothing with which to ground your opinions about the sound of your system.

I'm not talking about the "absolute sound" here, I think that's largely a myth. And I know you can tell a Strat from a Gibson both live and on records, I do it all the time.

It's about accuracy. I have found that a system that makes acoustic instruments sound right will do perfectly well with pop music. I have heard pretty wildly innacurate systems sound nice on pop music, too, but I'd rather have the accurate one: more discs will sound good and you will retrieve more information from the disc with it.
