That would represent a reference, a live-sound authority, and a couple
times a week would not be too often if you ever hoped to "remember" what
you'd heard there.
Everything we hear is colored (distorted) to a degree, lesser or greater.
It boils down to what one likes and wants to hear, or rather for some what
they _expected_ to hear as opposed to what they think they actually heard
with respect to their judgment of that sound afterward.
It's a tricky field yet straightforward in its own way. You're right about
the BS, though.
