Isn’t the attempt to capture the ‘not this shit again’ being done all wrong?

The change that added “not this shit again” couldn’t have been more poignant and appreciated! It is precisely the motivation for my rant!

So that’s never going to work..

NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN

I prefer AOOR (amp out of room). That's where the magic happens.

I mean, if you think about it, the OP is right on the money, and furthermore, IRs are usually captured with mics that impart their own eq curve/personality onto the sound as well, so yeah

Hence the "room within a room" effect and the drive at some towards reflection free IRs...and then reaction against such things with the "sounds good is good" argument...until someone wonders if IRs include reflections of the room they were created...

There’s always an Asshole In The Room when I play guitar

Asshole in the room tone is in the fingers, not the IR

But if the fingers are in the asshole, how are you playing guitar?

Maybe I'm boring but I wanna provide the first serious answer in the thread to the OP, after 2+ pages:
Yes, you're right, that's why the only thing that comes close is far-field reflection-free IRs, as Jay Mitchell has been saying for years, when you want to recreate that NTSA© thing thru "FRFR" speakers.
If you want it in headphones instead, you need to bake in the room as well, ideally with a long binaural stereo IR.
