Low level detail's


I am begining to come to the conclusion that the retrieval of low level details is extremely important to musical happiness. If this is the case then that would perhaps explain why extremely efficient speakers and great amps can sound magical at times. One would also think that cd's would be an excellent media for this but somethings wrong here. They just don't seem to have it. Anybody know why not?
Some cd's do sound excellent but compared to master tapes or excellent vinyl they seem to come up lacking. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Would like to be educated.
Thanks

How's your listening room treated? Do you have any ambient noise? The slightest background noise can erase detail. For truley enjoyable listening, I wait for late evening or early morning. Turn off my HVAC system and listen contently. I also have my room treated for slap echo and standing waves. All of my gear is run off of balanced power too, dead nuts silent background.
