For myself, it is the artistry of music creation. Most of the time I could care less how my system reproduces the sound or the quality of the recording. It all has to do with the artist. I truly admire the 0.0001% who are able create what we call music. It is something that I was never able to do. For instance, I enjoy listening to Yoko Ono. She is far from an outstanding mainstream artist. Her music can be screeching to the ears. Yet, the effort and passion is exemplary and I enjoy her music because of that.
