Yes, an ongoing theme here at GSC: If it sounds good, it is good.  Conversely, no matter the "logic", and no matter the "technical genius" or "technological breakthroughs", if it sounds bad, it is bad. Likewise with any sort of "logic" or "intuition" that is not actually borne out by acceptable sound: it is not good.  The problem with the empirical/subjective method for audio is mainly time/money, also the Big Problem that the listener's tastes are required to make the judgement calls in the first place. Of course, this is antithetical to most engineer's ideas about who they are and what they and their ilk stand for; hence the discussions on their forums vs. here at GSC.

Best regards,
