"Truth is beauty, and beauty truth. That is all ye need to know." Or something like that.
And there are different schools of "audiophiles." Some of us "truthers" figure that when the artist, producer, and engineers put a lot of effort into making a recording sound "good" by their lights, our gear should reproduce as closely as possibly the sound they intended. Others (the "beauty" school) prefer to wallow in euphonic distortions, and favor equipment that turns everything to artificially flavored and colored pastel mush. To each his own.
