Yes, I want the instruments and voice to sound real. Realism is vital for me. I have had a good measure of it over the past decade. This increases my enjoyment and immersion into the music. Can hardly think of a sonic attribute more important…at least for me.
This realism helps my system sound like the performers are right in my room. I get this experience with many jazz and vocal recordings. Rickie Lee Jones - Naked Songs is an example. No, cannot get there as well with large orchestral recordings.
