What's better than a live recording is a live recording that YOU engineered. Having spent some time doing location recording, you've learned what works and have brought it home. When you play it back at home and it feels like it did live, THEN you've got the ultimate in audiophile experience, one that very, very few in these forums has ever known.
Mortgage your house. Sell your children. Spend untold amounts of money on your system and it will still not compare to the joy of engineering the recording of a live performance, bringing it home and having it sound that good at home.
Is there anything better than live recordings?
Other than attending the concerts themselves?
I say NO.
