I follow everything you say except your conclusion. To accept the conclusion seems to require an additional tenet: That system synergy, or voicing, or euphonic distortion is desireable. If you accept that, which I think can be alternately stated as, "We can't get rid of distortions so let's balance them," then your position makes sense. But that doesn't get us closer to science replacing art.I prefer the position of eliminating distortions, which points out the remaining problems that can then be addressed. I think active cables will get us a little closer to that goal. It also makes long cable lengths easy.
