Quite a lot of very expensive modern hifi systems would not do well in that sort of comparison-which is why you rarely see a "live vs. recorded" comparison was very favorable, and I thought it was impressive that Audio Note (UK) would do that sort of comparison, as that's a gutsy move. When I visited the Audio Note (UK) room at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest some years back (above), cellist Vincent Belanger (below) provided a live musical reference for the room so listeners could compare the sound of Vincent's live performance to that of his recorded performance over the featured Audio Note (UK) equipment in the room. The fact that those Audio Note (UK) show rooms utilized relatively modestly priced equipment and simple hifi systems based on integrated amplifiers to achieve such consistent excellence, piqued my curiosity, and when a lot of other show rooms with much more expensive separates were rather easily outperformed by the Audio Note (UK) rooms, I took note. At the enthusiast audio shows I have visited in the USA over the years, I've always thought that year-to-year, the Audio Note (UK) rooms had some of most consistently excellent musicality & sonics of all the show rooms I visited.
