[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6301266, member: 549629"] This is exactly where you do not understand my point. Im not here to say classical is 'greater' than KISS. Nor am I here to say personal preference has no place in this hobby. But I am saying the [I]quality[/I] of the reproduction has a definition. And if we are to water down the term [I]sound quality[/I] to say personal preference plays a role in this definition, we lose what would be defined as [I]accuracy of the reproduction[/I]. Kiss or Beethoven, SQ doesn't care, its subjective, it has no moral, personal or racial preference, it only cares about accuracy to the original. If you want to define personal preference, what is wrong with using the term... [I]personal preference[/I]? When you include personal preference in the definition of sound quality, accuracy no longer has a definition. And to be honest, to call personal preference 'sound quality' is to, imo at least, diminish an important goal of many people who follow this same hobby as you and I. Accuracy to the original. Let people have their personal preference. As Ive already stated in this thread, Im a personal preference kind of guy with my own systems. By Im not so egotistical as to call that 'quality', its 'preference'. You call my attitude narcissism, I call someone who defines their personal preference as 'sound quality' narcissistic. [/QUOTE]
