Judging whether audio reproduction is accurate based on comparison with a live instrument isn't really valid. The process of recording adds some inaccuracy and the best the replay system can ever do is to reproduce that faithfully.
Modern studio recordings are usually pretty far from being a live performance anyway, and variations in recording and mastering are often more significant than the difference between one good 'reproducing' system and another. So I don't think it's straightforward to tell which (of two systems) is more accurate than the other, and in the end I think the only thing that really matters is which sounds more enjoyable. If you want 'accurate', then get out and see/hear more live music. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49757 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
