RE: "As far as I'm concerned audio is there to serve my aesthetics not the other way around."

Live and recorded sound quality are both judgeable, IMO.

I will decide if the performance itself is bad, mediocre, or good. I will decide if a live acoustic performance is taking place in an favorable acoustic setting or an unfavorable one. If the performance is an amplified one, I will decide if the amplified sound is well-balanced and coherent. Ditto for any recording that is marketed as sounding like some live musical event.

I must judge everything according to the standards I formulate and the memories I entertain, but I would hope that both of these things are grounded in reality somehow. I respect the *real*, and I try to honor the intentions of the recording engineers, if honorable they are.

Of course it is my *subjective evaluation* saying that not all live performances and not all acoustic venues are created equal. Hopefully, my subjective evaluations will at all times be informed ones though.

Maybe I'm an optimist and you're a pessimist?
