Where do you draw the line?

I draw it at whether or not I'm enjoying the music, no matter how superior or inferior the source. If I'm enjoying it, and in the moment, the quality of the source is not really very relevant.

That doesn't mean I can't, won't or don't distinguish between the quality of the source, just that if the music is doing what it should, the source is then sufficient. I'd love it if my Arsenio Rodriquez or Sviatoslav Richter recordings qualified as "audiophile" recordings, and "sounded" more like my Cachiato or Time Fellner recordings, but they don't. It is my experience that they are more than fine the way they are, and I treasure them for WHAT they are.

Guess I draw the line at enjoyment of the music.
