If the recording is not accurate to the original event and you want your system to be accurate to that event then your system has to compensate for the errors made during recording/mixing/mastering etc.Now in all these different recording studios different people with different ears use different gear resulting, quite obviously, in different errors being made. How can one hope to compensate for all those different errors?
And what about those recordings that are actually accurate to the event? With a system that is compensating for errors while there are none you are messing that accurate recording up. Bad deal.
IF error compensation is the goal then why not use an equalizer, or better, sth like the DEQX PDC 2.6? Apparently that device is able to do miracles:-) End even when using a DEQX you still have listening room acoustics messing things up.
Accuracy to the event is a noble goal too but IMO a goal much more difficult to achieve.
