I got the impression from your post, you claimed that the inherited "skewed" vinyl deviations (related to tonality) shall remain a constant that will appease a vinyl luvers bias, regardless of the level of execution.
Perhaps that was not your intent, or perhaps I was "skewed" when I read your post?
>>But mine is a singular comparison because I'm only talking about my system, my recordings, my live venues, and my ears.<<
I get out and listen to "live" music relatively often, and because I'm an audiophile, my mind always tries to compare / justify my systems sound.
However, live music is rarely without its own issues. I've heard countless concerts that sounded "skewed".
Also, live music captures the moment - unlike our systems - it can't capture time. As an example, I love Gordon Lightfoot, and get to see him live on occasion. Last year I witness him at Massey Hall, where the accoustics are truly wonderful. However, like us all, he and his band have aged.
So, although I truly enjoyed his concert and its natural accoustics , on an absulute basis, I'd rather hear him in his prime, and the only way to do so is to put on an LP.
