Freud creates his own reality with the aide of sadistic and tenious demands of his victims/diciples/models and tries to make an aproximation of his inner vision on a canvas.

An audio guy can try to become his own composer/conducter/musician through the technical mastery of his stereos colorations, idiosyncrasies and neologisms by letting these filter or enhance a reproduction of a piece of art, forexample a CD.

This can be compared with taking a reproduction of a Freud painting and putting pieces of coloured glass and other objects in front of it and maybe adding an ornementation with a pen here and there or even covering parts of the painting with paper .  Further one could choose to illuminate it with ultraviolet light and maybe observe the result with a night vission with attached fish eye lenses. 

To try to recreate as much as possible of an unamplified instruments sounds, or other mechano-acoustic noices, is not necessarily less noble, easier or more primitive than the ”artistic” goals above and to get anywhere actually requires self awareness from a different (arguably higher) perspective .

What path to take, depends not only on your inclinations, creative drive, level of narcissism etc., but also on how much of the reality is represented in the reproduction, if not much there might not be a point in trying to be objective in a psycho acoustical context.
