Is live reproduction the goal of audio?

Post your photos, and any explanations required. Until you do, you have no basis on which to judge others.

So, we have the real definition of an audiophile; a man/woman who lists his/her audio/stereo system pictures for others to criticize on Audiogon. I expect that it's also necessary to listen to music occassionally and believe that your system (living room with IPOD) is better than others BOSE or $100,000 equipment filled room or more.

Is that right? Good.

If so, I still am looking to learn about A'goners views about whether live reproduction is the goal of audio in their view.

Thanks.

Live reproduction is no longer my goal. If it comes as an ancillary benefit, then I'll take it.

By the way, if your goal is the live reproduction, I have just received a recording that should be considered in your reference library.

Bill Bruford's "Earthworks Underground Orchestra" Summerfold Records BBSF 013CD

Recorded live at the Iridium Jazz Club in NYC. Great recording!
