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.I think there is a third "school"...... The "live" school...... To re-create the illusion of "live music," making the sound consistent with what's heard at live concerts.... As much as possible..... (One must constantly attend live concerts in order to train his/her ears what "live" actually sounds like. I call this the "live reference." And then evaluate gear and updates based on that "live reference.") Even though the end result rarely comes remotely close to this ideal. Hence this approach can often lead to major frustration if "upgrades" don't achieve the desired result. Not necessarily accurate, not necessarily "euphonic"....
I only state this because I think I fall into this third "school," which I don't believe matches either of the two stated "schools"....
