Re: Faithful reproduction is a fluid perceptual reality.

I say, "Faithful reproduction is a fluid perceptual reality."

You replied, "Not factually correct. However the stereo format itself more limits our ability to recreate realism than does any other technical issue."

This might be at the crux of much bantering. From my vantage point there is no technical issue. The quest for faithful reproduction is a noble one. The notion of recreating realism is fantasy.

["Most engineers I know own cheap music systems and think high end audio in general is fantasy bullshit and a marketing rip off."]

As I've eluded, promoting reproduced realism could understandingly have a stench. Realistic is not some bridge between real and fantasy. Why stand on and designate it as audio science? Video doesn't enjoy this delusion. I don't think this hobby needs folks to respect otherwise.
