Anyway, as ever the proof of the pudding is in the listening, so we shall see!

It may be worth considering the "map" that is already in your brain. What you hear is often nothing like what the measurements show. For example I have just been listening to Dylan's "Masters of War" sung by Julia Easterlin (https://vieuxfarkatourjuliaeasterlin...lbum/touristes), and it sounds haunting and moving to me. But my wife can hear Dylan's own version in her head as she listens, and doesn't agree with me. I don't like Dylan's voice at all, so my "map" is different; I HEAR differently as a consequence!
So all the comparisons between measured and heard are often* a red herring IMO.
