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

It's almost seems as if you're confusing the realities present in live musical events with the realities present in recordings.

For instance: Sure, you can walk around the room at any live music venue and you'll notice slightly different sounding versions of the same event sonic event at each new location, but you cannot (dare I say "should not"?) try to do the same thing with a recording.

Recordings can only provide us with one sonic perspective at a time and I think it's our duty to make sure that the recording's intended effects are transmitted through our system and into our ears, as best as is possible. There's no need to cook everything up all over again, because "dinner" is actually being served... as ONE certain version or recipe.

I "judge" live events and recordings differently but of course every judgement I make is somehow *subjective*. "Well informed subjectivity" is the closest we'll ever get to pure "objectivity, I think.
