Robin, good point about instruments shifting harmonics according to loudness. Of course, hi-fi components (especially speakers) also "shift" with varying loudness, but the way a given component/speaker shifts does not necessarily correspond to how a given instrument does it. So, even if the hi-fi practitioner is a "critical listener", yet practical compromises must and will be made when assembling and implementing a pile of hi-fi components. With this as a given, it remains amusing to me how widely differing topologies can be used to "get to the Music", or... not. The 2014 Newport Beach show is my latest vivid reminder that the "industry" still consistently aims and winds up well wide of the mark; yet a local hi-fi friend uses generally-misused high-end gear to home right in on the Music he listens to.
As for the "front end/tuner idea", I'm not sure what you mean by "exemplary", but I still have only vague notions why FM "works", at all. Generally, I understand it as being somehow "less screwed up" than some other sources, without knowing why. For me, the ultimate example of this is the 78. One way or the other, at some point, the theories must subordinate to the results.
