I'm going to ask you a question, in a civilized manner. Let's see how you
are going to answer.. If at all.

Here goes; Is the perception and interpretation of music we hear from a
given hifi system *ALL* about DB level changes?




No, there's SNR, 'dynamics', bitrates and noise floor to take into
consideration

And that's all? When you know all those, you also know what I am hearing
and perhaps also, interpreting what I am hearing?

- if these are all in the right area then it doesn't matter
what the music actually *sounds* like...

Can you explain what you mean by that? if "SNR, (signal to noise ratio)
'dynamics', bitrates and noise floor" are all in the "right area" (what
does that mean?) "then it doesn't matter what the music actually
*sounds* like" (What does that mean. I know the meanings of the
individual words, but as a phrase, a sentence, it did not compute. Thanks.
