Certain elements do the trick. We do have experience with human
voices, drum kits, acoustic guitars, painos etc. We can judge the
quality of those elements aginst our experience with live music. Heck
just listen to the barrage of clocks going off at the begining of the
track called Time on Darkside of the Moon. Sounds pretty real.


Actually, I've heard the clocks sound very real (my grandparents had a house
full of wind-ups...I've head at least eight of various sizes go off at once)
to sounding very unreal. Using the SACD version. And the culprit....the
preamp. Audio Research SP6B vs. Onkyo P301. So much for big-box store
electronics.
