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.
