Hi and thanks for the interesting comments. For the longest time I wondered about what a home system should sound like and as my system evolved it became clear to me that what I heard live was not what I could accomplish in my home. Over the years there have been fleeting moments that sent chills up my back and there have also been moments of frustration. With that said most of my experience has been pure enjoyment of the music. It is only when I am drawn into the equipment game that I am really frustrated. With the advent of the computer, agon and other sites my awareness has expanded and with the help from a few nice people the experience of music listening is truly priceless.
I really don't see how live music can be replicated given the steps it takes to reach our ears. Do any of you think commercial equipment used in the recording industry is up to the standard of the better home equipment? The people doing the mixing are projecting what they think it should sound like, then there are the people designing and manufacturing cartridges and so on down the line. Bottom line is ENJOY THR MUSIC and have a system that makes music that pleases you. Other thougts are welcomed.
