My goal is for it to sound like a concert in my room. Either the musicians are in the room with me or I’m in the room with them. It can happen with a great performance, a great recording, and a good system. Always looking for the impact of a live performance.
But we miss out on the immediacy of a live performance. Particularly with jazz, You’ll never hear that solo again. My rig sounds great and I can spend hours stuck in front of it. But the presence and emotion of live musicians playing… Hard to beat.
