wht is the difference between good and bad sound ?


is it all subjective ? is sound quality dependent upon the ear of the beholder, or are there standards for judgment ?

in essence, if one does not like the sound is it bad sound, and cobnversely, if one likes the sound then it is good sound ?

does this also apply to components as well, i.e., if one does not like the contribution a component makes to the sound of a stereo system then that component is a bad component ?

The closer the sound coming out is to the same sound in its natural, pre-recorded state, the better it is.

That's why they called it high fidelity.
I think that's a bit wishful if you're suggesting that's possible with play-back gear. Hi-Fi is all about the play-back gear. But I do agree with your initial statement.
