"....the ultimate in purity and accuracy." Exactly how did you determine that?

Words like "accuracy" and "neutral" used to describe hifi parts/equipment seem to be just a matter of the ear of the "behearer" to me, unless you're referring to some kind of electronic test results - and I dunno what that'd be.

I'm a technical ignoramus, so correct me if I'm wrong, but......

If a resistor is required at some point in a circuit and you can't hear, say, preamp X without that resistor, when you put various resistors in that position how can you judge that resistor Z has no effect on the sound, or is more "accurate" than resistor Y?

I'm not claiming there's no difference in effect on sound, but I'd think its just a matter of preference rather than being able to determine one is more "accurate" or "neutral" than another.
