Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

I think you need both. Without detail tone alone does not give you the nuances and micro detail you need to make a recording sound real and 'live'.
Just been listening to my system and it has both which gives a tangible reality to the music. If recordings are poorly executed or mastered missing detail can make them sound dull and lifeless. Of course you need a system with enough resolution to extract this information.
Beyond tone and detail however I look for or should I say listen for the complex harmonics that instruments and vocals can produce which adds another dimension to the tone and acoustic clues which give the music realism.
Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702
Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2
Spend more money.
Many are fond of the DL-103. I've had several, but not been quite as struck by them. I found them pleasant enough (at the price), but would far sooner use a Decca, ZYX or perhaps Koetsu.
An SPU E might suit you, if you want a big rich sweet sound with detail.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
