Oh, I know.  I love it when people say how they spend so much time, 
effort and money to get the best possible sound quality, and it's the 
only way to appreciate music.  You tend to find that these people are 
only listening to orchestral music, for some reason.  I like to point 
out that as a musician, I'm interested in the music *sounding good*, not 
a perfect reproduction.  If I want to hear an orchestra I will go to a 
concert.  No recording will ever faithfully duplicate it, simply because 
the physics involved in producing the sound is different.

Gordon.
