δεν πηγαίνεις σε συναυλίες και δεν έχεις μια σοβαρή δισκοθήκη; Κατά τη γνώμη μου κανένα. Ιδού και ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον σχετικό άρθρο του Jason Victor Serinus από το Stereophile του Ιουλίου:

...από το οποίο αντιγράφω:
The reason so many of us spend countless hours, months, years, and dollars assembling and fine-tuning audiophile systems is that we wish to experience from recorded media the same sonic and spiritual epiphanies that have transported us during live performances. Those revelations—the moment when a pianist, conductor, and 80 musicians sound as of one mind; the instant when a Schubert song about a fisherman triggers a vivid flashback to that day 40 years before when, as a child fishing from a boat in the middle of a lake, we too experienced a tug on the line, and we understand for the first time that the almost imperceptible shift in the piano's cascade of watery notes magnificently mirrors the excitement of that youthful experience; the time when, during one of their countless unrehearsed jams, the Grateful Dead seemed to come together like never before to give us the contact high of a lifetime; and the night when a quartet of jazz musicians who had never before played together suddenly created music so unified and elegant that we had trouble catching our breath—are the revelations we seek as much from our sound systems as from live performances.
