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."

We completely agree on that point.


"I will decide if a live acoustic performance is taking place in an favorable acoustic setting or an unfavorable one."

That is fine. By what objective standard do you judge?



"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."

That doesn't make sense. all live music is grounded in reality because it is all real. But you concede that it is not all equal. So by what standard do you judge. It can't be "by reality" because all live music is equally real but not equal in sound quality. So what is the standard?

"I respect the *real*, and I try to honor the intentions of the recording engineers, if honorable they are."

Again, all live music is real. But it is not all equal. so "real" can not be the standard by which you judge live music. So what is it?



"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."

Informed by what? What is the standard?



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

I don't see how optimism or pessimism is at issue here.
