What does this even mean: "Amir would heard what the recording sounds like without reproduction chain component modification"??
--Yes or No: do you think component should change the inherent qualities of the recording?--
Once I would have said no that the inherent qualities of the recording should not be changed. But I have evolved to realize the the "inherent qualities of the recording" is a myth.
1st off the recording is mixed on specific gear...its a whole chain. Unless you have that same exact equipment in the same exact room you will never hear what the engineer heard anyhow.
2nd, even if you were to live in the same exact studio and use the same gear, everyone hears differently...ears have different shapes and our hearing is different anyhow.
3rd, a recording is basically fake. Its processed and processed to get a certain sound usually to make sure it sounds good on a car stereo or phone. Therefore it is best to get a system sound you like- listening to gear in your specific chain is vital since every piece of gear impacts the chain and the end sound. Given 1 and 2 its crucial to listen to make sure the SYSTEM is to your liking.
4th. Measurements do little to tell you how the component sounds in your system unless you listen to graphs.
5th, sometimes chicks need makeup so having some tone controls or processing to change the sound based on the recording can lead to more enjoyment of the music. That's more important than some "review" that never even listens to the gear.
