In Reply to: A different definitive recording question? posted by jimbill on July 9, 2015 at 17:34:12:
A most difficult question. One needs to know the microphone set up at the recording venue and then compare that info to what you hear.
Mercury Living Presence for this is excellent hree mikes and no gain riding. You can see their microphone set up in the Eastman Theater in their Civil War suites ( cd as well as Lp's).
Kavi Alexander used a single stereo mike for his AQ and Vandersteen recordings. The CD liner notes have photos of the individual recording sessions. Imagine your center image as being the mike and you should have a presentation mimicking the set up.
When TAS was in it's golden era, I made it a point to collect as many of the TAS super discs as I could acquire. I had realized using early Lind Ronstadt was not going to lead me to the same conclusions as HP, no matter how much I liked her voice. After a while and after increasing the size of my collection, I could see what HP was searching for.
In fact, I distinctly remember acquiring certain recordings and commenting that they should be on the super disc list ( they eventually did)
That being said, you can make your system sound very neutral and to HP's taste ( he was correct for the most part). But bear in mind your tastes are your tastes, and you need not apologize for using different recordings and maximizing their sound
