The title of your post is perfect. I agree with Chashmal and Louis Armstrong: "If it sounds good, it is good."
Too many people listen to their systems instead of the music, and they are 2 different things. My own system is evolving, but since I live in a NYC apartment, combine home theater with 2 channel, and don't make a ton of money, everything is a compromise. I have my own idea of what sounds good, and therefore it is good. So although I'm upgrading like everyone else (cables now), I point my purchases in the direction of my idea, and enjoy what I have.
