I have to wonder if a listening audience is best served by someone unwilling to step outside their own vision and allow a bit of diversity, if only for the small task of rendering audio suitable for playback on a variety of reproduction systems. I could be wrong about some of that... but not very, very wrong.

The issue of self-mastering always seems to be one of economics rather than getting the best result.
