Agreed. Best not chasing what can't be caught. Best to enjoy what is on hand.Home entertainment should be about entertainment, not trying to replicate the impossible.I think Greenwood is right on comment. 
...and now a word from your anti-sponsor...
I have been around live gigs all my life and have never ever thought that a home stereo could replicate the notion of an artist being "live" in your living or listening room.I get annoyed when I see "audiophiles" claim that they can get this intim... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
I love the James Blake album. One of the most original albums to come out of the electronica genre. Equal to the recent albums by The XX and Burial at defining the London music scene. 
Allman, Clapton, and Simon
Of artists that came to age in that era, I love several recent albums. Nils Lofgren singing Neil Young is a really beautiful acoustic album. Patti Smith also did a recent covers albums--nice tour of 60s classics.I love the new Brian Ferry and Doob...

What is the best quality boom box w/cd player.

What is the best quality boom box w/cd player.
You can connect a variety of devices using a simple cable. We took an old iPod and loaded it with children's music and calming music. They listen to it all night. The sound is amazing for the size. Got 5 stars recently by the leading UK Home Theat... 
What is the best quality boom box w/cd player.
I like the products by Logitech. The best docking station for $100. Simply put in a iPod and hit random. We own three, and my 2 and 1 year old grandsons love them. 
Best format for SteelyDan...
The Platinum Plus reissues on their US label have a pure analogue sound. They were the label response to Mobile Fidelity. They came out in the late 1970s and 1980s. I prefer them to everything else I have heard. Nice quiet vinyl using the original... 
Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
It's not punk or hip-hop.
