[QUOTE="LIVESOUND, post: 1097117, member: 778"] Totally agree. I tried to keep my definition succinct. Broadly speaking, studio recordings will bring the musicians into your room and live or out of studio recordings will transport you to the venue. Cantate Domino has been one of my favourite recordings for decades mainly because, like much of jazz, it sounds very good on any reasonable system. The music and sense of space is magnificent and tonality is beautifully smooth. For thirty years I believed that I was hearing it at its best, but that changed recently when I played it on a substantially better turntable than my LP12. The music was transformed to a much higher level of realism. This alludes back to my question. Has technology and the creation of 'cost no object' equipment moved high-end to a new level and reduced what was considered excellent over the last two decades to mid-fi? Put another way, does high-end move with the times or do we now have another category - super-fi? [/QUOTE]
