JezA, You're confusing performance with sound quality. Some of the best performances I have are in mono, and have poor sound quality. We're talking about judging a hi-fi system's ability to reproduce recorded sound here, not about the ability of that system to interpret Bach. And in that context, level-matching is important to ensure you really are comparing like with like.
