That counts or accuracy counts. They're not the same thing because recordings aren't real sounds, they have their own character i.e. they are not transparent to the original sounds. If you take ten good recordings and ten good playback systems I expect the SQ differences between the recordings would be more significant than the SQ differences between the systems. Put another way, something that can take a range of good recordings and make them sound real isn't necessarily strictly accurate. I admit, valve amps are good at this. My favourite system in terms of creating realism, with a range of acoustic recordings, is the Linkwitz Orion. My favourite system I've heard for accuracy is ATC SCM50ASL (with ATC sub). If I had the room and money, I would have both! No doubt you can think of your own favourites for each type of system - each to their own - my real point is there are different kinds of system.
