Am I in my own world, in the realm of audio reproduction? 😀 Not really ... there are plenty of people who want to be immersed in the 'reality' of the captured musical event - the difference between me and the others who explore this 'universe' is that I've gained a great deal of experience and understanding on how to make it happen; there are those who have lucked on it, as I did originally, and others by sheer persistence who have made it come to life - and who are happy to just enjoy the "fruits of their labour". I OTOH want to understand exactly the mechanisms and procedures needed to create this experience; and to communicate the type of thinking needed to approach the exercise.
This thought came about from noting this thread, https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/69441-choices, the poster is chasing "epic imaging and that 3d space i keep hearing about". The latter is of course what occurs when accurate in the right areas reproduction is achieved, completely automatically. Unfortunately, nearly all the influential people is the audio community believe strongly in alternative ideas such as "money maketh the magic", and that recordings are on the whole rather a miserable bunch that have to prodded and cajoled into generating a truly enjoyable experience. Which means the advice given on forums like that is of relatively little value - and the enthusiast is no closer to reaching his goal.
A great shame ... the vast archive of recordings is very rarely heard at anything like the standard of excellence which is possible; this impasse of not wanting to develop better understanding rears its ugly head, seemingly without end ...
