Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard?

Well, if you've been an audiophile for 30 or 40 years and you've upgraded your components a few times, worked on the acoustics of your room, been incorporating best of the tweaks available, collected or have access to the best source material...

...then maybe (just maybe) it should be your own system. 😏

how wise, indeed!

@mahgister   + 1. I was just gonna say My own system. 

Schweikert Ultra 11 with the VAC / Esoteric /Kronos setup they bring to CAP in the large Atrium room. Concert hall feeling. Alone the Masterbuild cables were close to $250k, around $1M system. 

Certainly my own system as over decades I developed, vetted, tweaked, and generally made my gear heap conform to my personal taste, which results in an astonishingly well sorted sound in my surprisingly great sounding room. Utterly personal of course as most of my friends don’t care at all, and I don't have a stream of audio geeks coming by with their preferences in their addled brains. As a certified "knob turner," working musician and concert producer/sound mixer, my taste has been formed from live music which I can instantly produce by playing an instrument, although listening is easier. Seriously, you have to take a uke off the wall, tune it, take a guitar out of its case...check the humidifier, change batteries in tuners...click a switch on an amp...it’s just so much.
