"Since we're talking about someone evaluating equipment for their own recording efforts, if the person is unable to listen critically to a comparison, either due to lack of experience or hearing issues or both, how will they evaluate their recordings? How will they know when they have the magic microphone and the perfect preamp? What do you suggest as a solution?

'Persactly!!! There's another problematic issue. If you wrote the song or have been singing it over a long period of time, you know the words. You can hear them when they are buried deeply in a mix. As a result, you have a tendency to not mix the vocals loud enough so that others who don't know the lyrics can actually hear them.
in another example of "What Happened There?" I'm reminded of the first Pure Prairie League LP. I don't know the history of that LP, but the HF are way too bright. How Come? It almost sounded like a dolby tape was not decoded.
