Yes, I agree they are different issues.
However, quite a big however too...
It all depends on where we believe 'reproduction' starts. We are very rarely simply reproducing the feed form one single microphone. Choices are made very early on in the recording chain that might as well be called 'performance' choices. Choice and positioning of players and mics, mixing, delay of spot mics, multi-band compression and multiple waves plugins - and that strange buisness of 'mastering' too. As I see it our 'hi-fi' reproduction is just the tail-end of those choices. Lets not kid ourselves that we are reproducing something absolute. Its all pretty chaotic by the time it get to us!

cheers, jb
