Why isn’t more detail always better?

Accurate detail means as close to live or the recording studio, in the bass, midrange and treble.  If you cannot separate the bass guitar from the kick drum, it lacks detail. If it is fatiguing, it lacks accurate detail. Accurate details are always better. You, however, may not enjoy a completely flat frequency response. 

Detail is never the "last word" in accurate retrieval but one of many criteria in the overall reproduction of sound.Its always about synergy; the balance of all factors that creates an illusion of a live performance.

I found having "quiet" incoming AC first, allows me to tune these balances much more easily.
