RE: A question about fidelity

Hi and thanks a lot for the very interesting and valuable reply
Let me just reply between the lines to some passages

"I believe that something catastrophic is occurring at the recording mic's diaphragms so that much of the music never makes it to the recording."

Ok. I agree that the first transducer is what fixes the bar for sound quality. It seems quite obvious.
And then ? no more recorded music ?
I see instead this as a challenge to improve the quality of the mics
This is where the magic is
A well recorded (and played back) disk can give nice emotions

" an experiment that Ed Meitner of EMM Labs performed where he recorded a piece from an electric guitar's amp/speaker and then played back the recording through that same amp/speaker and the sound was nothing like the original "

sorry this is not what i meant
I meant to record digitally the sound coming out from the electric guitar and send it to the amp without any transducers in between

This said the best mics are masterpieces and subject of cult among sound engineers
This speaks a lot for the importance of these devices
And blessed are the mics that capture a nice copy of a real event for ever for people to enjoy it.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg
