RE: Audio Science Review

Wait - this is not a question of musical taste. Not at all. It's a matter of the physics.

Even "content with complex harmonic structures and chords" is a mathematical summation and multiplication of sine waves. A fellow by the name of Joseph Fourier described this in detail over two centuries ago.

One other thing... Even if you have two violins playing nominally the same piece, their sinusoidal outputs are not always correlated. For that to happen, they'd have to be phase locked. Now, it happens that this actually does often take place in real life - though it's often not considered in equipment design; another long story - due to how musicians' brains work when they perform with each other. But, this is not guaranteed by any means.
