There seems to be a riff circulating around that some folks don't like the sound of some equipment because it sounds too real.
"Not everyone wants real," goes their mantra.
On the other side of the coin are those who would put forth the notion that real is the Holy Grail. That the problem is not too real but rather we're not real enough.
I am not sure how the same set of facts can generate such wildly different opinions.
But then, we live in a world where that seems rather commonplace: climate advocates, climate deniers (same climate). Too real, not real enough (same equipment).
Those of us in the middle are simply hoping to enjoy the music.
