A more accurate system should sound more like the MUSIC that was the source for the recording, and be true to that sound, deliver it as it was.I prefer a system that brings me closer to the live music than to the defects of the recording equipment used.
Some systems highlight the very boundaries of the recording techniques, not caring for reproducing the music, but showing off what the media is capable of. Is that accuracy? In a way, yes, it shows everything that is on the RECORD.
But that may or may not have to do how the actual performance sounded....
An example: I have a Dyna st70 / PAS / Voigt pipe setup, that is considered very anti-audiophile, some even despise it as unacceptable.
I have a friend who made a guitar recording at his home, that turned out to be 95% of what he wanted. (By my standards, one of the best I ever heard of a guitar recording, and all my audiophile friends wanted to get a copy instantly they heard it). I listened to this recording at a mega-buck system, and it was wow! I heard every detail, everything! But it did not sound at all like his guitar, that I have heard at his place playing.
He has a bunch of guitars, yet based on the recording I could not tell which he was using. Had I not known which he used, I would have said he was using another.Went home, played it again at the supposedly very inaccurate and coloring system, and I was stunned, because it sounded almost exactly as what I have heard at his place! I instantly recognized the guitar from its tone. The experience was _very_ similar to listening to him playing...
