1. The less we have to fill in for the brain to reconstruct the original event, the better it will sound. This has been proven by psychologists for all of our senses. The closer to reality the sensation is, the less the brain has to work, the more relaxed and comfortable we are, the more we feel the original event, no matter which of the senses.
2. It's the entire system which produces this closeness to the actual event, from the original concert hall, microphones and recording equipment, to the recording engineer's fiddling with the middle product, to your playback, from recording type, to room configuration to amplification to speakers and all in between. 
3. The combination of your room, electricity improvement to the playback equipment to the final amplification, wiring and speakers all add up to the final feeling of the listener. While I have the same PurePower electricity improver and  your original Dannoy's here, I have yet to achieve what I heard in your room. Why? Because I am using different and probably inferior playback equipment. It will be interesting to see what happens when I receive my YamahB2 amplifiers to replace my solid state amplifiers, hopefully in the next few days, to at least remove that variable from the equation. Then it will only be my recording and equipment sources and room which will be different. If I then match what you have obtained, then we'll know it’s the B2 and Danny synergism that produces the “IT.”
4. As digital breaks up the music into small bits of information, leaving your senses and brain to put the pieces together, it will be interesting to see what analog recordings will do to your Danny “IT” postulation. Time to get a decent replacement cartridge for your turntable.
