Keep in mind microphone positioning for most recordings. That explains the precision to a large degree.
I have some recordings where the microphones were at "live" distances and the imaging precision is much more like you would get live.

Not to mention compression and EQ'ing kills any realism ...
every microphone ever used to recorded live music has it's own inherent EQ built in.
Change positions in the concert hall and you change the spectral balance of the sound. But it will be just as realistic being that it is still real.
"every microphone ever used to record live music has it's own inherent EQ built in. "10-4 on that!

yes. But my point was that without the visual cues that more "natural" imaging will not be *percieved* as realistic because it will have virtually no specificity. So IMO the less truly realistic but more palpable and clear imaging we get with the most highly praised audiophile recordings will seem to be more realistic and will be prefered in terms of sound quality.
So, you mean to tell me that you never close your eyes at a live concert? I find that I do this quite often...particularly at classical concerts. Guess, what? i can still get quite good "imaging" and "soundstaging". I can easily still tell where the violins, flute, oboe, cellos and basses are located. Or a soloist. I can also tell the horns and the percussion are in the back. Is it razor sharp? Only if I am sitting very close but that is true whether my eyes are open or not.
Visual cues are not required to be able to get good auditory placement in live un amplified concerts...for amplified concerts it is more important since most of the sound is coming to you disconnected from the performers.
Yes I have done that. But that experiement is basically poisoned to a degree once you have visually located the various musicians. OTOH there have been a number of times when I did not see where particular musicians were seated before the music started and they were placed in atypical positions. In those cases I absolutely could not locate those musicians by sound alone. *We hear what we know.* When the unexpected happens it's not so clear. And that is the real test.
