What makes it “much more natural” if the math (which you are “not questioning”) says there’s no difference? 

If the turntable, amplifier and speaker enclosures were made of real wood, it would be more natural?

    The downside is poor quality sources and masters sound poor. My main listening Fyne and A6A setup and V4As in other rooms with Fyne/Dali 2.1 setups don’t hide how poor they sound unlike other speaker setups I’ve had in the past.

    This is definitely the biggest battle these days, especially with all the software ‘correction’ and loudness nonsense that gets applied to a lot of mastering. Can you believe they’ve put Freddie Mercury’s voice through Auto-tune on the new reissue of their first album? The mind boggles. 

    While it initially sounds a bit “um, what?” With reflection part of me thinks FM/Queen would approve. They were no strangers to messing around and experimenting with video and audio recording during the years, so doesn’t seem that out there.

    Having grown up through the dismal loudness wars CD mastering period I can think of many more things I want remastering ahead of a Queen/FM album, but they won’t sell as well I guess.
