My sense of what "real acoustic music played in real space" sounds
like is based on my experiences of it, which are very different from
your experiences of it. So this is hardly an absolute at all.

generations of analog tape? (I'll leave vinyl out of this discussion.)
I'd say you have a very odd notion of "the sound of real music," then.
