No: accuracy has never been defined

care to take a shot?

""I have, for decades, preferred the less dramatic, the less colorful, the more faithful. What many call dry, boring, clinical, I find to be a clear window into the recording.""

""I have""

I would think that a good definition would want to take any one individual's subjective preferences out of the mix.

Wouldn't we have to define accuracy to be something akin to THD distortion rate, or some kind of distortion rate across a detectable bandwidth? And if so, how would we define "detectable" and "distortion."
And, this is not to mention the stuff, (and it's probably considerable), that I'm missing.

""something I want as unclouded by the subjectivist's interpretation as possible""

As you wrote above, - that's just about as "subjective" as one can get: and a great support of my argument.




"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
