Albert, I could not have said it better. I only buy well performed music regardless of the sound quality. My system even makes the bad sounding ones listenable.
I have never gone for an "audiophile" sound. Take all the various terms like staging, transparency, depth, detailed, etc, etc. I have never been in a live music setting where the sound was as perfect as the systems people build. If there is something I go for that is defined in audio terms, it would be PRAT (pace, rhythm and timing); better known simply as music.
