Fair comment. I don't particularly subscribe to the idea of trying to
attain, or even define, the 'best' - at a certain point, it becomes 'good
enough'.
The level of attainment at which a...

I'd agree. However the only real control over that which most of us get is
to choose with the care the LP/CD/broadcasts we listen to. It is one of
