    I never mentioned human element. I’m talking about sound quality strictly. Live is best, then well recorded music that gets you close to live sound. Then electronic music that is flat and lacks sonic details because there aren’t any.

        Now that is funny. Even recording engineers lament the loss of fidelity. Especially after the loudness wars. If you have a good stereo and good treats it’s ready to hear the difference yourself. It’s part of the reason daft Punk used real musicians and why their album was so highly praised for its sound.

        I have those fake sound profiles on my stereo and they always sound worse than direct audio.

          Youre right, and likely the person arguing doesn’t have a nice listening setup and has only had ear buds. Nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn’t pretend to know quality sound.

          Many people today have never even heard a decent stereo setup which is super sad. Thats why they have no idea what theyre missing. I get it though. Not everyone is sound obsessed.
