Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

There is an irony

...you pretty much need to have the original of what whatever it is to compare to the reproduction of it.

If it's popular music to which you refer, the LAST thing I want is the *original" event if that means a typical "live" concert: 130 db of low resolution monophonic mud. I gave up going to such back in the 70s. My hearing is all the better for it.

making a single ended judgment based on how pleasing the reproduction seems based on your imagined rendition of the original event.

To an extent. I've heard a truly live drum kit on a stage before. I've heard solo vocalists on a stage before. I can tell if one is standing at far left of stage or far right. I've heard an electric guitar played through a simple amp behind the individual on a stage before. There can be a reality other than the dreadful result we normally hear. While I listen to a wide range of recording quality, I don't use any massively mixed pop music to ascertain the ultimate imaging capability of a speaker.
