Real Music vs Audiophile Mumbo Jumbo


Lets talk about music when we hear hear it played live in contrast to our home systems. I have been going out lately seeing rock concerts but none the less, it really makes me think about listening at home vs what i hear when i go out. I read with the respect the vinyl supporters and how the digital sound will never touch the warmth and other special qualities of vinyl. Well, when you go out and hear live music and close your eyes, believe me, it does not sound like a vinyl rig. In my opinion, the sound has an in your face kick that is more like solid state systems. You can hear the bass lines and the pounding of the drums and the fire of the guitars. There is no tube glow and and warmth to it. It is alive and much different.

Actually, Broadway does a much better job with music. Hair on Broadway last year in a small theater sounded really fine; I really appreciated the intimate acoustics. But I usually need earplugs at rock concerts and can't listen to music for a day or two after I go to one.

Of course, when I listen to the Beatles, most of that never existed live in the first place. So live is usually a fabrication anyway with popular music, which only lives in the matrix anyway...
