I guess you didnt have a chance to listen to the station broadcasting from the Met while in New York? Perhaps it is different. I get met broadcasts on satellite radio and the quality is horrendous but I guess thats a different story. Frankly, I might have just been blown away by the "live" FM transmission. But, I have alot of "live" cds and it doesnt sound anything like what I heard this afternoon. I have a couple of renditions of Das Rheingold, which I never bothered replaying that often but if I had today's recording I think I would listen to that one repeatedly. I mean I could go into details but Ill spare the superlatives. Even if what you say may be true, I find my FM broadcasts to be superior. Geez, what does that say about my digital rig...

Ive become obsessed now and I have enough motivation to pursue a DAW and buy a tower sized HD rack. I made a half-assed attempt before getting some things here and there. When I get it all together, perhaps in a month, Ill start posting up some samples and you can decide for yourself, assuming I figure out how to record the damn thing properly.
