Reality? that's live music.
A stereo can get you only so much. If you have a nicely recorded, produced and manufactured live album, you can get a good rendition of it.
The sickness of the audiophile (which unfortunately is me) is the willingness to continue to pay more and more for less and less perceived improvement in SQ. The poorest to the wealthiest audiophiles have the same sickness, just some will pay a lot more, and get a little more.
Anytime I change anything in my system and it sounds better to me, I get a rush. That's the addictive drug of the hobby. Nothing else.
