Good point.

Many users are mislead into thinking that added 'detail' and 'air' indicate improved fidelity.

A little added RF noise, IME, creates the illusion of more detail and air at the expense of the true detail present in the recording. A good example is the tremolo in Ella Fitzgerald's singing in her duet album with Louis Armstrong. RF noise suppresses this aspect of her performance.

A small amount of RF noise enhances amusical details by adding spurious treble energy. It takes disciplined listening to separate such results from the improved musicality that results from reduced RF noise.
