I agree. The subjective evaluation is all that matters when it comes to musical enjoyment. I can enjoy a 192kbps MP3 of my favourite tune just fine though could potentially enjoy it even more uncompressed with good equipment...However, I fully acknowledge that a major element to my enjoyment of music has much to do with the psychological state at the time and am completely fine with accepting that I can err when listening to different cables and thinking that one is better than another but can't prove it when a buddy switches them out.
But when an article talks about attributing differences in sound quality based on what seems to be identical digital files (virgin WAV vs. WAV reconstituted from FLAC!), one must be forced to reckon with external objective reality.
