RE: Absolute level of CD during play

IF you have ever heard a single recording on CD that was good, that establishes the CD digital medium is capable of it.

The question is, how much if what you hear positive and negative is the art of recording, the technical limitations of the various elements in the chain. Unless it's a 2 mic live recording, it is an in studio contrived stereo image and unless you were there, a person is limited to a judgement about how "real" it sounds with no knowledge of what it actually sounded like. This is where doing your own recording can be enlightening.

Most of your comments reflect a "black and white" binary like view when in my experience engineering is mostly shades of grey and the concept of "perfect" is only a goal.

Perfect here could be what goes in is exactly the same as what comes out.
Euphonic coloration is not perfection even though pleasing with music (which is harmonic)
