Re: Which is more important to you -- AUDIO TRUTH or MUSICALITY?

if its not recorded "truthfully", and not much is, then the question is really "how can a make do with the recording i've got". (this is especially important as most recordings which are made with the intent to preserve the event accurately fail musically.) i bought a cd the other day in which the singer is playing a piano - i got a good point sounce on her voice and the piano took up the entire back wall. not even close to real. however, the voice was so good i could'nt just focused on that and ignored the stereo aspect. the same can be said about imaging and other stereo artifacts that are highly prized. you never hear them in concert - the engineers assist in their reproduction by multiple mikes, etc. there is no truth - there is only what you like to hear when you turn on your stereo.
