My apologies if you felt I was misusing your comment. I guess we have 3 very different questions - "Is system A more objectively transparent than system B", "do people in general consider system A better sounding than system B", and "do I like the sound of system A more than I like the sound of system B". The problems start when we confuse these 3 separate cases... "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
