This unfortunately has been my experience too. I'm curently running a 1991 NAD 500 cdp and just enjoying not analyzing the music. I think to that different people have different hearing capabilities.
I've heard many dealer set ups at widely varying price ranges that sounded harsh and amusical.This has been the rule not the exception. I don't know what the answer to stereo nirvana is. Hence the obsession and frequent buying and selling of many of us.
