" Any recording is inaccurate ....[and not a true representation]...of what was played where it was played"
If that's what you meant to say....I agree.
However, as the end user (the guy with a copy of the recording in hand and a home stereo with which to play it on) I have no wish to try to correct for the inaccuracies of the recording.
Anything I do to correct for the inaccuracies of one recording will only exacerbate the inaccuracies of the next recording. No two recording are flawed in the same way.
My goal is to reproduce the recording (with all of it's flaws) as accurately as I can.
Now, as a recording engineer I am in a position to reduce the inaccuracies of a recording that I'm involved with but as the end user....it's out of my hands.

We both know that some gear is more forgiving of less than perfect recordings than other equipment. I see no point in having equipment that limits you to audiophile grade recordings to be able to enjoy the music.
That's why I listen to several different kinds of music when I am finishing up an amp, to see if it will do well with most of what I listen to. Numbers alone will not tell you that.

Vinnie, you and I have different goals.
I like brutally non-forgiving playback.
If the recording is lush and warm and rich then that's what I want coming out of the speakers.
If the recording is thin and edgy and bright to a fault then that's what I want coming out of the speakers.
Each to his own.
