RE: OK - I'm going to use another word in preference to "bad"

But you don't really "like" the sound do you? my point being that you judge the sound quality on aesthetics not on accuracy. the desire for more reverb is based on your aesthetic values not on your quest for accuracy.

You "respect" it. But is that what you want? A library of recordings you "respect" because of their accuracy?

And as far as "accuracy" goes we need qualifiers to ever say any recording is "accurate." We have to say accurate from a specific location in the hall and accurate on the specific playback gear used to listen to it on.

AND..... there is a whole other aspect to live v. recorded that I have not even gotten into that is huge and really puts the whole idea of accuracy as a goal in question. And that is the visual aspect of live music. It's a fact that we hear what we see. Anticipation bias, sighted bias and the McGurk effect are huge factors in our perceptions of live sound. Huge!!!
