I have an excellent next-level hi-fi set up I wrote about endlessly a couple of years ago.
Live music does not sound like hi-fi, and vice versa.
It's been a while since I've heard live music, and I've decided that I need to hear some.
If only to convince myself that...
a) the acoustics in my listening position are better than an affordable seat in a concert hall (*)
b) audiences are... audience-like
c) live music, even in the Wigmore or Festival Halls, is MUCH LOUDER than I play my stereo
d) the soundstage is better on my stereo
e) a CD would be cheaper
f) paying that price for 90 minutes of entertainment makes me concentrate in a way I could never do at home
It's also part of my going-out-in-the-evening programme of recovery.
I have three concerts booked for the South Bank, and three at the Wigmore Hall.
I'll let you know how it goes.
(*) 'Affordable' is an elastic term.
