RE: I disagree


"And what percentage of the musical recordings that exist in the world can be held up a representative samples of the industries efforts at capturing this holy grail?"

It's not about capturing the holy grail. It's about setting standards for excellence. Live music in an excellent acoustic space, played by excellent musicians on excellent instruments heard from an excellent seat sets the aesthetic bar for all else to be measured by. It is the best. It gives us a goal.

To answer your question, far too few. Hence the value in knowing what is the holy grail of sound. The more people, both industry people and consumers, that are aware of this lofty standard the more there will be a demand for it and supply of it.

There is nothing magical about music *just* being live. "> >

"No I'm perfectly happy with most of the live events I attend inspite of the sound not being as "good" as the sound of most studio recordings on my home stereo system."

If you are willing to settle for that.....not my problem.
