Respectfully, for you the end game is verisimilitude to live music. And that is great. But that is not true for me. I simply want most of my records to be listenable.
I am not an audiophile, but a music lover. And so, I have many mono albums that were not well handled by their previous owners, nor are many of them well recorded. Ditto my collection of 78s. All I want is access to my, very varied, collection without getting run out of the room.
I go to several live concerts every months, and nothing in my setup has any relationship to what I hear in the concert hall. And I'm just fine with that.
