Is there a possibility that our strive towards accuracy is actually counterproductive to musical engagement/enjoyment?

[QUOTE="u235, post: 1140297, member: 1485"] If you stand next to a piano and listen to someone play or play a note or two yourself, or sit close to an acoustic guitarist, and then listen to a [I]recording [/I]of a piano or an acoustic guitarist on just about any system (and I have heard some greats), you will notice IMMEDIATELY the loss of richness and texture in the recording. Try it! The effect does decrease with distance, but it never quite goes away. So my view is that there is no such thing as hifi, but some fi's are definitely higher than other fi's. If I can accept the coloration and character of my particular system, if it presents in a way that resonates with my soul, then I believe that's all that matters. I also think that is why vinyl is popular. Not because its more accurate, but it has a richer presentation. [/QUOTE]
