First, you miss a reference to the phase “I am a very intelligent person”. It was the Melvin Udall’s quote from “As good as it gets”, not that I do not have meaning behind it but the meaning is bit more elusive then it is on surface.

However, the main point in following: if you pay attention I hardly ever use the phrase “soul” in reference to playback. In fact I do not like when others do it as to use soul allegories in reference to machinery is a white flag of intelligence in my view. It reminds me the audio people use word “synergy”

– when  people have no idea what they are taking about then they begin to grand to machine human qualities, label them soul and dive into semi-religions awareness of reality. There is nothing wrong with a semi-religions awareness of reality… until you need to build bridges, hit the right piano key at the right time, wind the cartridge coils or to time-align drivers.

Yes, perception is the Reality but creativity operates by atomic noumenonal categories, arranges them in order to stricture the desirable perceptions.  Therefore I do not think that it makes any sense to talk about the “soul in the machine”. In those conversations where “soul of machinery“ involved I see just a celebration of epistolary over common sense…. and I feel myself too intelligent to be enrolled in them.
