When did you ever hear a system sound so life-like

I am sure this has happened to so many of us, entering a room where the music sounds so damn close to live to discover it is an audio system.
What were the speakers and source?
If it's your own system mention the purchase that made the difference.

About 25 years back.At a dealer I heard Pacific Overtures being played on a Well Tempered turntable and tonearm with an original Benz cartridge.The electronics were all ARC and the speakers were the original B&W 801.
This was the closest to live that I have ever heard.
I've heard other Lps played in this same room with this same system and never felt the sound approached live.
So was it the recording....
