RE: Holt was mostly right about most things...

These days I wonder about these ideas. I wonder if they came from people who actually have attended many concerts.

"fidelity to the recording"

What is that? The "recording" is an encoded copy of an electrical signal. A recording in and of itself has no intrinsic sound.

"Fidelity to the Music from which the recording was made"

And what exactly is that? The original event took place in a completely different acoustic space. It had many different sounds depending on where in the room you were. No original musical event has *a* sound. It has a multitude of sounds from the multitude of listener positions.
