Euphonic
1. denoting or relating to euphony; pleasing to the ear
2. (of speech sounds) altered for ease of pronunciation
agreeableness of sound; pleasing effect to the ear, especially a pleasant sounding or harmonious combination or succession of words: the majestic euphony of Milton's poetry.
Naturally we can't have any of that sort of thing in our audio reproduction chain. Cold analytical unlistenable dreck is what we should all be after in our audio systems - let's hand over the credit cards.
A system that is accurate should retain the "euphony" the artists intended. And be accurate enough not to sound implausible.
If a system does not provide "pleasing sound" (Euphony) - then it's worthless dredge as Hi-fi kit - even if the THD is .00000000025%
