When I say GOOD, it is in the context of high-end audio,
IOW it has superior sound quality in that it sounds more
like real, live music, played in a real space and has a
you-are-there palpability that the average recording
(even digital) lacks.


Superior sound quality is impossible when a great deal of audible noise and
distortion can be heard. In fact there is a widespread belief that freedom
from �audible noise and distortion is prerequisite for superior sound. IOW
it is necessary, but not sufficient.


That is quite an interesting claim. Do you feel that you are actually
getting distortion free sound from your playback system? I don't
believe any such distortion free playback system exists.
