"Illogical manifestations" aren't the sole province of the skeptic, as I'm sure you well know! I'm all for a happy medium. :)
> My impression is that the *general* meaning of your experience - listen to what sounds best <
I was referring mainly to recordings/mediums. I would certainly hope that our two camps are united on listening to whatever medium sounds best on any given recording. On the other hand, I'm well aware that there are those who are "convinced" that either analog or digital is consistently superior.
