The "space" between the instruments! 

It can be better defined with respect to its three dimensions with 
the really good tubed amps and preamps. This, according to 
friends with whom I spent an evening some years ago. The night 
was one of careful listening to two high end systems playing the 
same program material with the finest turntables available. Yes, 
turntables. They are considered to have better spatial 
differentiation than CDs.

Funny part of the night was that as it wore on and the quantity 
of beer consumed increased asymtotically (sp?), critical listening 
went down the toilet until everyone was rolling around, laughing 
at each other and went home still advocating their particular point 
of view.

      Thought for the day:
      It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
