Unless it is performance art, art is expereinced by watching the artwork itself, e.g. the art work IS NOT a reproduction it is the real thing hence the wording a work of art. So the equivalence of an original painting would be a live performance. Listening to music reproduction through your "stereo" is the same as looking at reproduction of the art work, for instance a printed copy. -- johann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10177 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85590 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
