Real Music vs Audiophile Mumbo Jumbo


Lets talk about music when we hear hear it played live in contrast to our home systems. I have been going out lately seeing rock concerts but none the less, it really makes me think about listening at home vs what i hear when i go out. I read with the respect the vinyl supporters and how the digital sound will never touch the warmth and other special qualities of vinyl. Well, when you go out and hear live music and close your eyes, believe me, it does not sound like a vinyl rig. In my opinion, the sound has an in your face kick that is more like solid state systems. You can hear the bass lines and the pounding of the drums and the fire of the guitars. There is no tube glow and and warmth to it. It is alive and much different.

if my home system sounded like an amplified concert i would abandon home listening.
my uncle has played in jazz bands for 50 plus years, has a degree in engineering and still tours the world playing jazz festivals. when he listens to my emotiva/magnepan system he is stunned with the sound quality.[ he is not a smoke blower either] whenever he comes to town he brings his groups most recent cd to listen. i ask him didn,t this sound good in the studio when you were making the cd? he said not this good. just an anecdote.......
