To clarify (if I may, E-stat), he's talking about a "sense of reality", which I would think means that it still sounds like a real piano, positioned where it is, not that it sounds exactly the same regardless of his orientation or position relative to it.
In a similar vein, as a trumpet player, the trombones still sound like trombones, whether I'm behind them (as in a jazz big band), or in front of them (as in symphonic wind ensemble). I can't say which I prefer, and that's possibly a good thing if there are any trombone players here (B. Scarpia, are you there?). Which makes me think - what instrument do you play (beyond high school), Analog Scott?

The discussion has devolved to the absurd for anyone who regularly listens to live voice and instruments.

  That has pretty much been the norm on here over the years. Had Ionesco enjoyed access to this monkey cage he would have been a helluva lot more prodigious!

    I have never, nor do I intend to, apply make-up to any person. However, I am an expert in the field of cosmetology, 'cause I've read a lot about it.
    
    Wait for it...

The lecture was about accuracy. How do you apply "a sense of reality" to judging accuracy of audio gear? You can't. "A sense of accuracy" is far too vague, broad and subjective to have any utility as an objective reference for measuring accuracy. If some gear gives an individual some greater "sense of realism" and they like that...-great they like it. It says next to nothing about it's objective accuracy

"In a similar vein, as a trumpet player, the trombones still sound like trombones, whether I'm behind them (as in a jazz big band), or in front of them (as in symphonic wind ensemble).

See above.

"Which makes me think - what instrument do you play (beyond high school), Analog Scott?"

Which makes me think despite you posting the definition of the word "accuracy" that maybe the meaning of the word eludes you.

  I'm still curious, what instrument do you play (beyond high school), Analog Scott?

    Why are you curious about something that is so off the subject and specifically about me personally?

      "Why are you curious about something that is so off the subject and specifically about me personally? "
      
      It seems a reasonable question. I play trumpet and a tiny bit of piano, CfL plays piano, B.Scarpia plays trombone, Ethan Winer plays cello, John Marks plays (I think) piano), etc. What instrument do you play?

        Whether or not you call it reasonable it does not explain why you ask. I could ask you how often you go to the gym. Just as reasonable, just as personal and just as off topic.
        
        So I will ask again, why are you asking me personal off topic questions?
