Anyone else prefer listening to their system more than a concert?

I have no preference.

My system is convenient. I can access it when I want for as long as I want.

Symphonies and operas are intermittent experiences. I have to enjoy them on someone else's schedule.

Rock concerts are often very disappointing. Sure, there's group excitement, but the sound is mediocre and sometimes drowned out.

Classical music played in an appropriate hall is the benchmark for me, although one must put up with the mistakes being made by the orchestra (and cast, if opera).

While we enjoy classical concerts—while stationed with the U.S. Army in Germany, we attended perhaps 12-15 concerts in Berlin and Bavaria, including the best being Beethoven’s Pastorale symphony performed by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Karl Böhm in 1976, now being very senior citizens, we enjoy the comfort of our own living room, where also we can choose the compositions and performers we prefer, via Tidal.

I’ll take live, small venue music (usually Jazz or Prog Rock) over my rig any day.   The live music is the target for my rig.   I keep getting closer, but I’ll never get there and that is OK.   Live is live and recorded is recorded.
