Totally disagree with MAPMAN. Cannot disagree more.
I want to be grabbed by music, I want to experience trans similar or identical I have inside symphonic hall. I do not give a dumn if musicians there play with high resolution or no resolution I want to be in this trans inder full influcence of old "replitian" brain
Every time my cortex (smart brain) note details or something else during the playback - its not a music its a sound you like or not and I believe as a rule its one or another kind of distortion
Simon Thacher of Spectron has the same philosophy and when I am listening to my LA-300 Joule-Electra ("most romantic" ) preamp matched to my Spectrons AND recording is GOOD - I am in paradise.
While, I believe that there is no one "correct" way to listen to music I suspect that majority will choose my way...or not
