The starting transient or "initial attack" phase of any sound or instrument ...

... is what the brain uses to characterize any sound from any instrum.nt. Reproduduce the initial attack phase of sounds in a recording right and it will sound m.st sim.lar to real sounds in real space. The "decay phase" of any sound is not nearly as im.ortant in recognition or m.m.ry as the attack phase is. And I m.ntion this because it m.ght serve to rem.nd us of how im.ortant a good sounding venue is. Good venues will m.ke all types of sonic nuances (including the "characterizing" attack phase of sounds) m.re audible than bad venues will.

And there are no deleterious electrical interferences in the signal path (or electro-m.chanical interferences along the delivery path) of acoustic instrum.nts. When the only "signal interference" that exists is the air itself, there m.ght be a better chance of hearing whatever it is that intrum.nts are supposed to sound like (in any venue, good or bad)... Correct ?

Anyway, the likelihood of our hearing what *actually exists* down there on the stage or in the orchestral pit is higher in a good venue than in a bad one.
