The vast majority of things that give us information about a performance of a musical piece are preserved or lost in the recording process, not in the reproduction by the audio system.

I would very much argue this. I would certainly do not deny that a large amount of information about a performance or the performance itself might be lost of screwed by recording process. But I would not accept this premise and something that demean the participation of reproduction chain. The word “starvation” has bad connotation, however there is a field of human knowledge and experiences when “starvation” is inflicted purposefully for medial and physiologist (not to mention mental) proposes. You might read Herbert Shelton’s writing on the subject among many others.

One of the points is that human body is a perfect self-regulated mechanism and any poisoning and contaminations that make it imbalanced come to outside, from wrongly combined food for instance. So, the periodical cycles of starvation are the mechanism to remove the bad contaminates form body and restore the organism to its self-regulated state. It is not the post about the benefit of starvation but it has to do with my very fundamental view about audio reproduction that I am advocating for years.

A properly-made (very loaded definition) playback of audio reproduction chain can act to “information about a performance” as starvation acts to health of human body. With proper structuring of playback it is possible the effect of recuperation when the problems and predicaments of recording chin and in some case even the performing chin might be detoxified and the certain subconscious sensations that we experience during the live event might find the entry point in our listing practice. If this premise of mine do not exist then the whole notion of high-end audio as I understand it worth absolutely nothing and one million people who practice high-end audio shell return back to practice philately and the stupid baseball watching. The problem with all of it is that I am correct and playback is a tool of impact on right hands instead of the tool of reflection of a recording misery.
