His is my picked for 3 things that I would like to be done in audio. They are without any particular order of importance.

1) I would like industry to develop a coordinate system according to which Sound would be objectively evaluated and all sound efforts by any audio participants would refer to an objective reference scale. When I am taking about objectivity I do not mean a bunch of AES looser attacking sound with oscilloscopes and time-domain analyses. I mean very objective scaling of subjective perception of sound.  It is perfectly doable and there was some premature efforts done in the direction in 90s but it had to traction, not further development and now following. As the result today in industry the definition of "better sound" is a pure abstraction and very seldom has any relativity to anything that is important to  a real human being.

2)I would like the equation according to which we recognize "sound quality" was reveal.  We have too many environmental variables that on one way of another alter out perception of the same sound: electricity, mood, food, health, solar radiation and you name mean else. The point is that we do not necessary hear only by ears but by a complex compilation of sensors, some of them are not even understood by classic audio.  There were a lot of efforts made in this direction but there was no unified vision of how we affected while we are listening.

3) I would like industry in the end develop some theory that would explain "Where the 'it' goes?" We goes to a concert and if a performer is great and has something to express then we experience very interesting reaction to the expressed. The same event being recorded, even at the max possible resolution and whatever the Morons from TAS call "quietly" doe deliver kind of  interchangeable   Sound pressure in listening room abut very frequently has no 'it' in itself. In a contrary you can rent an ugly cargo track with horrible radio that produce appalling Sound and all of the sudden that terrible audio deliver to you a whole spectra of "it" and each single note that come from it you percive and the greatest concert of your live.

Rgs,
