"No. That does not follow. Some music is more demanding than others. Also, you don't know how much better that great CD could have been. It might have been "out of this world"."
All true Tony...
But the outer limit, as it were, is essentially limitless. What's maximum?
On the other hand the threshold of acceptability, or satisfaction or something along that line seems clearer: you know it when you're below it or well above it. And I've had too many experiences where I was well below it at live concerts!
Since I am usually above it at home (as I don't listen very much to poor recordings) that's good. Actually I'd love to hear your system as I suspect that I might find it above it also but with better margins than mine, but who knows? We're complex, cranky creatures...
