The recording trading-off set of choices dictate how we hear it...
Our system/room is able to convey them well or not so well , in their own acoustic set of trade-off parameters "translation" for our specific ears...
There is no original event, only the located place were each spectators seat...
Only the trade-off choices of the recording engineer...
Only our system/room and listening location in it translating the recording...
All is acoustics choices...
No original event ...Only multiple acoustic possibilities....
Or the only privileged original event is to be seat beside one of the playing musician but what about the others?
I will call high fidelity the recording and high translation the way my system/room convey it to my ears....
