Well, you are perfectly entitled to don't accept it, many would not accept it the concept, even more people would not understand it. Still, it reminds to be my position and the view of  “re-production” (production again) explains to me audio much better than the view of just “reproduction”.

The problem is, Romy, every time you make a change in your system, which seems to be about as frequently as the rest of us, you are creating a new "absolute" sound in your scheme because it can only be referenced to itself.  Do you see the problem with adopting this philosophy??

It is unreasonable question. I was NOT taking about the “creating a new absolute sound”. The Absolute Sound is irrelevant evolutionary term that should NOT be used with adjective “absolute”. The “Absolute Tone” is different animal – it is a constant in a way. Sure it has a slight “darwinistic touch” but basically since in the TTH formulation the “Absolute Tone” is permanent variable that constantly pursuit to its maximin values then it is perfectly responsible to call it as Absolute Variable. At least this understating gives some OBJECTIVE semantics so necessary for description of audio events.
