Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing?

I don't mean close, or it's pretty good at suggesting, or if you close your eyes and really, really concentrate. I'm asking whether your system is indistinguishable from live performances.

If the answer is yes, then congratulations! If the answer is no, do you even think it's possible? And if you do think it's possible, how far are you willing to go?

If you are taliking "hypothetical" live performance where everything is perfect (seating position, no crowd noise, acoustically perfect venue etc) then no stereo not as good as live.

But if you are talking about "real world" live performces with all the imperfections then I usually prefer my stereo to almost any live performance soundwise. Of course part of the attraction is the visuals which is lacking with stereo.

I always wonder where people hear these mythical perfect live performances that they hold up as gold standard that no stereo can match?
