Thanks everyone for the recent comments. I'm loving the suggestions. @kefas, thanks for pointing out the one-mic recordings. That sounds very intriguing and I will definitely look into that. Forgive my ignorance, but I must ask a technology ques...

@fleschler  Realistic to what?  A live performance or a recording stage/studio recording? Neither, specifically. I was more interested in if you, as a listener, felt like a recording sounded quite similar to a live instrument/voice. Venue cert...

@axeis1  There is no Audio Gear that sounds like live music. There’s no video that looks like being there. There is no resolution that approaches real. Pretty sure we're all in agreement on this thought. With everything I've learned, I don't ...

Thanks @herbreichert, ​​@dekay, @bdp24, @tkhill, and @gg107! (apologies if I've missed someone so far, I'm struggling to keep up with all the great suggestions! ;-) As folks share, if you have a link to some site that at least shows what the albu...

@fatdaddy2  To start, audiophile < > music lover, although there is an intersection on the Venn diagram You're right that "audiophile" tends to have a different, more extreme connotation nowadays (we're all crazy in our own ways lol). We...

Thank you, @mceljo , @georgeab , and ​​​​​​@mrdecibel ! Will definitely look into all those! I love all the input I’m seeing so far!

I will dig into that more, @bdp24 ! Thank you!  
Most Realistic Recordings
Thanks, @hilde45 ! Will look into that.

Thanks, @twoleftears ! Will check it out! @simonmoon  Maybe they were referring to tone, timbre, dynamics, detail and such. Could be. I haven't had a chance to hear it yet, but I'm looking into it as well.
