I wouldn't say that the disc determines the sound, Jaybo. I would say that the hardware, to use a common phrase, 'gets out of the way' and allows the disc to shine through.
Shadorne's comment is, of course, quite right: dynamics, both micro and macro, determine the "swing." It is fascinating that the JVC allows as much of the micro to pass through as some more contemporary components.
