Subjectively speaking, ambient noise IS important in listening to CDs.  WHen
I listen to a couple of mine, I like to turn off my refrigerator (in an adjacent
room).  I do live in a quiet area.
Has anyone ever heard a Japanese refrigerator?  Probably not, because they`re
hard to hear.  Probably about 6db less than an American model.  Now there`s
an appropriate subject for net.audio!
