I'll freely admit that my system is not the ne plus ultra, especially when it comes to the reproduction of large-scale recordings. On the other hand, when I listen to my 192kHz 32-bit WAV recording of At Shelly's Manne-Hole (Live in Hollywood, CA/May 14 &19, 1963) with the Bill Evans Trio, I can almost convince myself that I'm listening to the performance live. It's real enough that when I close my eyes my mind inevitably wanders back to other evenings I've spent in intimate clubs with special people and good music.
