"...expanding the stereo image, adding missing low end frequencies and synthesizing new overtones."

This is your idea of perfection? Taking the original sound and synthesizing and adding stuff to it that the original artist did not intend to include?

Hmmm... I think we have different priorities here, reggie. My idea of perfection is to have the sound reproduction be indistinguishable from the original. That's not to say that my preference is necessarily superior to yours... I know what you're trying to say. It just tickled my fancy to see what I would consider mutilation described as "perfectionist".

To each his own.
