[QUOTE="Vanquish, post: 109093, member: 84"] Affan, Fully agreed. But ironically, even the master copy is a victim of coloration itself IMHO ... and it happens at the point of recording itself. The surroundings, mic placement, amps, EQs, cables, sound monitors used also contribute in some manner towards coloring the sound of that copy as opposed to how the singer or performer produced it. And if the recording itself isn't an accurate representation of the original sound, then an accurate sound won't sound realistic, would it ??? Damn ... this is slowly becoming almost like tubes vs solid state or CD vs LP kinda thread .... gotta stop! :P Basic law of physics - Every material resonates when struck or activated. This is how different materials, or for that matter musical instruments, make their identifiable sounds or tones hence any sound reproduction system imbues an "audible signature" on all signals passing through it. To quote J.
