I honestly can only recall one list member who stated that CDs sounded better than concert performances. Sami might be confusing "sound" with "listening experience". I know that I had stated that I much prefer the home listening experience to the concert experience, although I was well aware that the pure sound is better in concert. A listening experience involves much more than sound quality. >All of which confirms my belief that there is no substitute for live >performance. Agreed. There's also no substitute for the private listening experience in one's home. This assumes you like being where you live. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
