Halcro, thank you. I dont think you are wrong. We all hear differently, and component choice is made in context of existing system/room/preferences.
Our systems may not be that far apart in reality. We agree on digital, I can only listen to simple music on digital.
I remember the story in TAS years ago. Some guy complained to the car manufacturer ( Buick or Pontiac from memory ) that his car didn't like chocolate ice cream, that it always broke down when he bought chocolate ice cream. Letter did the rounds at the office until one engineer decided that he would follow it up. The family had a weekly treat of taking the kids down to the store on a Saturday night and getting ice cream. Turned out that the chocolate ice cream was at the front of store, the other flavours were located at the rear. Whenever they bought chocolate ice cream, because of the short time frame in and out the car was getting vapour lock in the carburettor.
