live music is not always a gold standard for sound quality. I could remember the shame sound at concert of Pink Martini at Wolf Trap several years ago it was total disaster. However Depeche Mode concert was just glorious in sound. 

"...Good concerts, bad concerts, y'know I've had my share...
When my earplugs went in 20 minutes in, y'all know I couldn't care...."

Holy water don't fix ground loops....or much else.

I'll stand with @mijostyn....once you know 'flat', one can build from that to one's' taste....

And digital and analog is blurring a lot of late...where does one end and the other begin to effect the whole?

@mijostyn.

Well, I am talking about acoustic live music. Electrified concerts are frequently terrible sounding… you are listening to an audio system in a location of terrible acoustics. I stopped going to concerts like that twenty years ago. Live music needs to be classical or acoustical jazz or your more likely to do better at home.

Really,I don't thing so.
