Re: This is why...

Something recorded in analogue with as little processing as possible.
Go away! That's the lamest most incomplete definition of a high fidelity recording I've ever heard. I know you can do better than that!

This means that there are very few "high fidelity" recordings,
This I agree with. And because of that such recordings should only count as much in evaluating a system as the listener is expecting them to take up in his listening experiences.

hence my comments about us chasing our tails.
One is only chasing his tail if he gives "high fidelity" recording playback too great priority in component/system evaluations.

No matter how good our playback systems our, the recordings are the limiting factors.
Whatever! IMO the system is the limiting factor - whether one is using idealic recordings or one is trying to maximize his listening enjoyment of a wide range of recordings.

This is why even a phenomenal system can sound like crapola when fed with a horrible recording. Sean
What's the point? A phenomenal system can sound like crapola when fed with a wonderful recording!
