My other comparison was of the same drum performance, first
appearing on LP and later on a digitally remastered CD. The LP
version had an immersive 3-dimensional space, giving a very
palpable sense of 'being there'. The CD, though lacking surface
noise, didn't have quite the vastness and sense of 'space'.

One of the things that a recordist can know, but that very few hi fi
listeners if any can ever know, is exactly what the live performance
that was recorded sounds like.

Even if you're at a live symphony concert, as with listening to
speakers, is it not true that what you hear depends on where you're
sitting?

Of course.

That there's not just one version of what it "really" sounds like live.

Also true.

Please be my guest as you punch even more holes in people's theories that
they know exactly what a recording should sound like, right down to the most
subtle details.
