Default Whose "accuracy"?

Surely the question should be, "Whose accuracy?"


The late unlamented Stewart Pinkerton used to claim that "Audio is
engineering, music is art" or some such rot, together with its express
corollary, "When the amplifier produces exactly what is on the master
tape, the designer's job is done." Clearly, that puts the the
recording engineer, the master of the master tape, in charge of the
outcome.


I can name some recording engineers I have known, including some I
employed, that I would like to throw down the stairs to remove them as
carbuncles from culture. They were soulmates of the execrably smug
Pinkostinko.


And just what has that to do with the reproducing chain reproducing
accurately the source?

You might as well say you don't want it to reproduce Bach because you
don't like his music.

Another example of your flawed reasoning, methinks.
