The old saw - why don't hifi systems deliver what live (unamplified) music delivers?

Running a good mic and 24 bit recordings you can certainly get realistic attack and sound. Always surprised when I hear it. 

 

I record and play back a fair bit for work at calibrated levels. This is using a $10k sound level meter with a $2k mic.

 

Scared the crap out of tradies working on the house when I played a truck recording of a noisy engine compression brake recorded 1m from the exhaust! 

 

Recording the playback recording gets me within 0.1dB of the live recording on the peak levels with high attack. Other statistics are closer.

 

Had recording of a drum solo somewhere if I can find it at 5m. Attack and thump was more real than most recordings, assume because it had no compression.
