RE: Pretty much everything you said here is wrong.

For what it's worth both Gordon and Harry were trying to get as close to the live experience as possible in reproduction. That's why Harry called his magazine The Absolute Sound which he stated in issue 1 and many times after. And that was Gordon's attitude also which he also stated in the magazine and I often discussed with him.

Neither would say we were there or even expected to get there knowing the limitations of our gear. But that was the goal even if they never got there. Some of your comments are probably why Gordon was interested in surround sound.

I suspect they'd agree that audio is an illusion. But the goal is to make it so the illusion can almost fool you so you can make believe once in a while. But they would call that an attempt at reproduction and so would I.

Other wise what is the goal of high end audio with its costly, intricate gear. What are your targets?
