Your comment -

What you personally consider accuracy has nothing to do with what's real and measureable. Does it?

Even you say
>>People tend to assign components with an "analytical" character
>>as "accurate."
Just like you assign the "45 SET" sound as being "accurate".

Then you continue on to say
>>What is "accurate" to one person may be "sonically colored" to

and
>>By the same token, I would consider good 45 SET amp more-
>>accurate than a good 200-watt solid-state amplifier.

Back to the beginning - How could you possibly know? It seems to me that your premise is nothing more than stating the your belief that your own preferences are more accurate than the the preferences of others - who by your own words must appreciate the colorations and distortions of SS.

IMO - accuracy is a real and measureable quantity and has nothing to do with personal preferences. Why is it never good enough to just like something more - do we have to prove that our subjective preferences are somehow objectively superior as well!
