When is Accurate Musical Recording the goal ?

Hi Tubeguy

Reproduction encompasses all the links in the chain including the highly variable end user’s room and speakers.
What are recordings supposed to sound like anyway?
It takes a rare system to produce realistic stereo images, the rare listener who cares much, the average is the target in the studio most of the time.
The recording business is big business now run by comparatively few conglomo corps instead of a zillion independents as it was in the heyday of hifi recording, they are focused on money.
The goal of most recordings is not to have a pristine accurate real sound but to sound like a hit.
Best,

Tom
