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.

I walked out on the last three rock concerts I went to. And I like all three artists. Three strikes - I'm done. I enjoy all of those artists far more on my home system then at either concert...by far and away...no contest. The concert acoustics were literally unbearable to me.

Well, when you go out and hear live music and close your eyes, believe me, it does not sound like a vinyl rig.

I really wish it were the sound of a vinyl rig, and yes, i do believe you, it's not the same. One makes me want to run screaming from the venue in search of Advil, and the other is profoundly enjoyable.
