The entire premise of this thread and its responses exhibits the snarky, esoteric attitude of too many audiophiles. The solution is to enjoy the music where it happens. I daresay that there is more music happening on streets, in bars, around campfires, in gymnasiums, (etc ad infinitum) than on stages or in concert halls. If you are unable to enjoy it in less that 'perfect environs you cannot really be a music lover.
