What is your reference?

"live" reference is also very much a function of the venue as well - Disney Hall and Avery Fisher Hall don't sound similar. although I know an audiophile friend who hasn't been to a concert in 20 years which seems out of touch, so i do feel having a live reference is probably a good thing.

I think plenty of us played instruments, but its interesting that most of us still have different tastes. same friend has played guitar for 40 years and likes tubes everywhere with SET amplification and ortofon spu carts. to me, they don't sound like instruments i've played (piano, clarinet).

SET excells with the right Horns , the sound can be subliminal .....
 
I subscribe to Jock's (the professor) perspective of emotional enjoyment and "toe tapping". I enjoy going to live performances at least 6 to 12 times a year.

I listen carefully to live music. But, after all, if I'm getting enjoyment at home, who cares about the brand and cost. Isn't it really about the music?

I need to give a double bingo to ritmos statement. Its always been about the music regardless of cost, brand and musical genre. Listening to music is personal and the last thing I knew we are not the same.

If your not toe tapping your missing the point of the music.:D
