All sources (and amplifiers) add distortion, which is what accounts for differences in sound. Some forms of distortion are more pleasing to the human ear than others and some are more sympathetic to particular types of music, so the sound which is judged as 'best' may not be that which most accurately reproduces the source. opaqueice;235508 Wrote: > You're expressing a strongly biased opinion.

It's very difficult to measure every parameter which might influence the sound reaching the ear simultaneously. At my age, I will concede your point about the limits of human hearing though.
