"Actual audio performance that sounds most like a live performance remains the standard..."
With the qualifier that i am not a musician - like Andy Evans - who knows what instruments really sound like, my position is that SET appeals to the personal emotions aroused from memories of listening to certain live performances. SET sucks you into the performance; while the most "truthful" systems just lay it out in front of you to dissect and observe. (This is Bob Neill's distinction, not mine, but I agree 100%).
Our ears are antennas; the brain reorganizes the signal to match what our experience holds most dear.
I remember sitting down with you Dennis, alone, in your room at RMAF long ago, listening to a Native American woman soloist and my memory of our conversation is that what you (and I) heard was the beauty of her voice - "the rapture", not the truthfulness of a live performance.
We are an imaginative group...
So much for projecting my own beliefs on others.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
Follow Ups:
What you heard was what the woman sounded like in the studio.
There were no euphonics present, just the track being played accurately.
That's not to any taste, it's what she actually did in the studio.
If you'd like ONE component that gets this totally right, then get Berkeley Audio Design's new "reference" DAC.
