Fewer and fewer know what acoustic music typically sounds like.

So Jenn, you think that all acoustic music sounds the same,

Of course not, and you know that I didn't say that.

or is there any
variation from performance to performance?

Of course.


IOW, is the concept of "What acoustic music typically sounds like" really a
valid concept?

I guess my ears are still good enough so that I hear variations among what
acoustic music sounds like. Therefore it can't possibly be a fixed reference
for me.

As I already wrote and have written to you several times before, there
are ways that acoustic music in a performance space NEVER sounds.
That's what to be avoided, IMO.

There are actually an infinite number of alternatives either way.

I've definitely been at live performances where the sound was so bad that I
sat there wishing for even a fairly modest stereo.

What needs to be avoided is all this posturing about vinyl and the sound of
live music - given all the clearly audible flaws in even the best vinyl
playback. Most of the people who rant on this way actually don't hear that
much live sound, anyway. It's just a cliché they picked up from their
favorite hi fi salesman or high end audio ragazine.
