Thanks Frogman.....
The reason I showed and commented on the live orchestra in Ravello is that they were all REAL unamplified instruments in 'real' space yet to me.....it didn't matter π΄
It left me cold π₯Ά and unmoved π....and I really didn't want to stay till the end. And I DIDN'T......ππ»ββοΈ
My point is, that despite this being 'The Absolute Sound' by HP's definition......it wasn't 'The Holy Grail' and if my system sounded anything like this, the Classifieds on A'Gon would be full of my components π€£
And no..........it really wasn't easily recognisable as 'live' instruments to me π and I've had previous similar experiences.
I understand completely how important the 'live' experience is to you....but to me, I want 'theatre' β‘οΈπ₯π
I want to be immersed, astounded, moved and left shaking my head in disbelief at what I am hearing in my own room.....
That's what keeps me turning it on almost every day (as I have for 40 years).
But I suspect that most in this enigmatic hobby of ours....have slightly different personal priorities.
And that's also why I simply 'hang' on your descriptions of my cartridges.....most of the time I don't know what you're talking about until I go back and listen to what you have pointed out...π€
Vive les differences....π
Regards and thanks again.
