When it comes to pop music -- of any sort -- all bets regarding
veridicality are off. There isn't a spark of "reality" or any attempt
to approach same in that arena, unless we're talking about capturing an
acoustic instrument in a real space.
When the limitations of the reproduction system "train" the listener,
he/she is often disappointed that the live concert doesn't sound "as
good" as it does at home on a recording. It's Mother Nature's way of
getting back at us, I suppose.
