I guess he hears a difference. Perhaps for him, the improvement he hears (doesn't matter to him) as it would to others. For me, if there is an improvement... I want it..... "just good enough" doesn't work for me personally, otherwise I wouldn't be concerned about cabling, component choices ect. I would spend what I need that is just good enough, knowing it is not the best.

To rockitman,
Something like this - substitute "sound" for "word":

“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”
? Mark Twain, The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain

The difference between the right sound and the almost right sound is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
