Don't take it to extremes. "High" fidelity is not the same as "perfect" fidelity. There's some wiggle room there, but IMHO moving beyond that is counterproductive."If faithful, distortion free, reproduction is based on measurements using testing equipment then wouldn't we all be listening to SS equipment?"
No, by no means. Remember that ALL systems distort, there is no such thing as distortion free. One of the limitations to us reaching "perfect fidelity" is that fact. SS gear produces different distortion spectra than tubed gear. So many of us choose tube gear because the distortion spectrum it presents is more pleasing to our ears. But carried too far it becomes a detriment to fidelity - as Mikey in essence says in his own inimitable way (I'm paraphrasing here) "Euphony is not fidelity".
