"I draw it at whether or not I'm enjoying the music, no matter how superior or inferior the source."For me, this approach works for analog playback, but almost never for digital. This is why I no longer accept the notion that "it's about the music, not the quality of playback."
Or in other words, I can listen through a bad analog recording to a great performance, but when I listen to bad digital playback, the performance almost always seems to be degraded, relative to how it would have been perceived non-digitized.
