I do both. That is go to concerts and listen to my hi tech equipment.
Here is a point Ed Hall seems to have missed - The consistency of the
listening environment.

I can't afford the time ( or the money ) to see the entire season of the
Phila. Orchestra. When I go I don't know where I'll be sitting. ( I do
realize that in a well designed theater the acoustics should be good
everywhere.) Even if I could get the same seat everytime other factors
can influence the sound. e.g. the size and shape of the other 20,000
people in the room.

When I listen at home there are more things that remain constant. I'll sit
in the same chair ( almost always with a different book ) and the surroundings
remain relatively stable.

I can appreciate both and given that I can't see a live performance everyday,
be it the Phila Orchestra, the London Philharmonic or the Oslo What's its name,
I take the most faithful reproduction I can find.

Now a question. Does anyone have any experience with the dbx 3bx? I've
got some money burning a hole in my pocket and want to patronize my local
dealer. ( The Klipsch diamond cantilever cartridge is still out of my
price range )
