"Human ears don't lie. If you've been listening a good music, you ears can't stand a bad sound/music. "
Exactly how I feel. Good music based on what I like MUST sound great, otherwise I don't listen to it. Can't do it.
I so do not relate to this conflation of sonics with what is "good' in music".
Many, many musicians care little about SQ. , because "music" is melody, rhythm. harmony -- not sonics.
But I realize I'm probably in a minority, here.
